They also offer assistance in the preparation of degree programs, examination regulations and module descriptions as well as regulations for access and admission requirements and ensure  quality assurance. Furthermore, the advisors provide advice and support for the discontinuation of degree programs.

The templates for the central committees of academic self-administration are prepared in consultation with the subject representatives.

As an interdisciplinary institution of Osnabrück University, ZePrOs supports doctoral and postdoctoral students of all disciplines in their interdisciplinary further qualification. ZePrOs offers interdisciplinary events to strengthen key academic and career-related skills and provide career guidance. With regard to their career development, scientists in early career phases are supported in planning and shaping university and non-university career paths.

The aim is to provide doctoral and postdoctoral researchers with needs-oriented support with regard to the specific requirements of the respective qualification phase and to prepare them for successfully taking on management responsibility in science and industry.
