Page "Higher education" Paragraph 65

Universities may employ a number of people.

Depending on the funding, a university typically hires one teacher per 3-25 students.

According to the ideal of research-university, the university teaching staff is actively involved in the research of the institution.

In addition, the university usually also has dedicated research staff and a considerable support staff.

Typically to work in higher education as a member of the academic faculty, a candidate must first obtain a doctorate in an academic field, although some lower teaching positions require only a master's degree.
