In the structured doctoral student programme we offer doctoral researchers the chance to

• complete their doctorate within a maximum of three years,
• gain qualification for national and international postdoctoral work at academic institutions or in industry,
• learn how to communicate across many specialties and disciplines,
• obtain knowledge from other fields (e.g. biologist from mathematical and informatics sciences and vice versa).

           

The scientific work, which covers the main part of the education, is combined with

• individualized learning, especially field specific or interdisciplinary training,
• Internal Meetings*, every second month (talks of / discussions with guest scientists and doctoral students, poster presentations and more),
• a yearly retreat*,
• conference / lab  visits,
• an international symposium* in the third year,
• soft skill trainings.

       *organized by the doctoral students

Within this challeniging programme the doctoral reserachers receive a comprehensive education for the tasks to come in their future scientific career.
Two internal supervisors and an external supervisory board advise each doctoral researcher during her / his doctorate. For more information see:
