Programme

The curriculum of the Doctoral Programme incorporates courses, international experience and the defense of the doctoral thesis. The courses are intended to deepen the student's knowledge on the one hand in the research area covered by the Doctoral Programme and on the other hand in general skills such as research methodology, career planning and innovation management.

The thesis is supervised by two members of the faculty (external supervision may also be possible); interdisciplinary theses, are preferred. The duration of the Programme is three years. Each PhD student position is funded for the three years of study (regular employment contract with full social benefits).
