How to Become a University Professor in InZOI
Becoming a University Professor in InZOI is quite straightforward, requiring minimal effort. This makes it an appealing option if you’re looking for an uncomplicated yet rewarding occupation for your Zoi. While it’s simpler than it appears, the experience might also be less engaging than expected.
Although there are several aspects of InZOI that surpass The Sims, this feature isn’t one of them. Nevertheless, since the game is still in Early Access, there’s a potential for improvement down the line. Once you grasp how the career works, you’ll find it easy to advance.

How to Start Your Career as a University Professor
Where to Go to Become a Professor
To launch your career as a University Professor in InZOI, the only requirement is that your Zoi must fall between the Young Adult and Middle-Aged age categories. You won’t need specialized skills, such as a college degree, or particular personality traits to kick off this career path. Admittedly, this was a bit surprising to me, but it does save time on skill development. I haven’t noticed any advantage from a higher critical thinking skill as of now, but this could change as the game receives updates.
To begin, simply access your Zoi’s smartphone at the bottom of the screen and navigate to the careers section. The workplace you’ll be assigned to depends on the location you selected during character creation, with only two university options available:
- Bliss Bay – Bliss Bay University
- Dowon – University of Youngsung
If a position is open, select it. If not, there’s an easy workaround: locate the current professor and approach them. Click on their character, and use the play button (the arrow pointing right) to switch to them. Pause the game, use the smartphone to quit the job, and switch back to your Zoi.
Alternatively, you can find the current professor through the family menu, but this method is more complicated due to the unhelpful menus in InZOI. It’s generally quicker to simply explore the city to wait for them to appear.
University Professor Tasks and How to Complete Them
Types of Jobs
In InZOI, there are two kinds of job structures: rabbit hole and active jobs. Unfortunately, the University Professor position is a rabbit hole job. This term means your character will go into a location, and you won’t see them until they come back out. To manage tasks, just click the briefcase on the right and select a task—it’s that simple. This setup is similar to what you find in The Sims 3, where you manage tasks for your Sims while they are away.
Here’s a brief overview of the different positions available within the University Professor career:
| Job Title | Schedule | Salary (Daily) | Tasks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assistant Professor | Tuesday: 9 AM – 3 PM | 342 Meows | – Assist with thesis writing – Complete assignments – Prepare lecture materials – Answer student questions |
| Full Professor | Tuesday: 9 AM – 3 PM | 930 Meows | – Conduct lectures – Provide career counseling – Review written assignments – Write articles for journals |
| Distinguished Professor | Tuesday: 9 AM – 3 PM | 1,920 Meows | – Conduct lectures – Provide career counseling – Review written assignments – Write articles for journals |
It’s important to clarify that the tasks themselves do not contribute to your Zoi’s promotion. You will be sending your Zoi to work, but it’s all about waiting for them to come back during designated hours, which are Tuesday through Thursday from 9 AM to 3 PM. The tasks serve mainly to enhance the role-playing experience rather than act as a means of career advancement.
When your Zoi assumes the role of Assistant Professor, the tasks are fairly basic. Choosing tasks from the menu doesn’t accelerate the promotion process. There’s even a "Leave Early" option that seems to have little effect on progress. As the game is still in Early Access, several features, including this aspect, still need refinement.
As your Zoi progresses to the Full Professor level, they will unlock new tasks, which, while they yield more pay, do not impact promotional speed. Help students, conduct lectures, or write papers—but bear in mind that you won’t witness these activities as your Zoi will be hidden within the university building. Progression occurs organically, and you’ll simply be waiting for the progression bar to fill to reach the next level.
