Ulrike Haß studied German, politics and psychology at the Free University of Berlin .

As a board member of the Dramaturgische Gesellschaft from 1986 to 1990, together with Theresia Birkenhauer from the Institute for Theater Studies at the Free University of Berlin, she organized numerous events on positions in German-speaking and European dramaturgy. At the same time she was working on her dissertation and in 1990 she was named Militante Pastorale. PhD in Antimodern Movements in the Early 20th Century at the Free University of Berlin. After a year as a postdoc in the graduate college “Theater as Paradigm of Modernism” at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, she joined the Free University of Berlin in 1992 as a university assistant for theater studies. In 1999 she moved to the Ruhr-Universität Bochum , initially as a substitute for her own position, after completing her habilitation with a theatrical and cultural-historical writing (stage form and perception) at the FU Berlin in February 2000 to become a university professor for theater studies at the Ruhr- University of Bochum to be appointed. In Bochum, the focus was initially on establishing the young Institute for Theater Studies. Together with Guido Hiß she developed numerous collaborations, ensured an increasing networking of the institute and its students with the theater scene in North Rhine-Westphalia, founded an annual publication of the institute for the theater in the Ruhr area in 2001 (theater over days, renamed in 2007 to Schauplatz Ruhr) and is currently (2014) working for the establishment of a master's degree in "Scenic Research".
