Why should I do a doctorate at all? What does a doctorate involve? Do I fulfil the requirements? How can I finance a doctorate? How long does the doctoral process take? What is everyday life like for doctoral students? Questions upon questions, and the biggest of all: Do a doctorate yes or no?

We would like to support you in this decision! The theme day "Option Promotion" consists of a panel discussion in the morning, in which all these questions (and more) will be discussed from different perspectives.

Afterwards, there will be the opportunity to talk to the chairs of the doctoral committees and the managing directors of the Graduate Centre as well as doctoral candidates from your own faculty and ask specific questions.

Please register below by 25 April.

When registering, please indicate your institute or department in the "Anmerkungen/Sonstiges" box.
