    We attach great importance to the education of young scientists. Thanks to a high ratio of academics to doctoral candidates, PhD students can benefit from supervision by internationally recognised experts and guidance from colleagues.

    We teach interdisciplinary research to PhD students from day one. Most are part of Doctoral Training Units: groups of students from diverse fields working together on an overarching topic.

    Besides high-quality training, the Doctoral School of Science and Engineering offers courses to complete knowledge and skills. PhD students can also pick a soft skill course, learn a new language or join the free sport, art & well-being programme of the university! Our staff also get to join team building activities throughout the year and cultural events on campus.
