Doctoral study

All Faculties of the University award doctorate degrees, the highest attainable academic qualification.
Doctoral projects are always research projects. You can complete your research as an individually-supervised project while working as a research or teaching assistant at one of the University's chairs, or in a doctoral programme (postgraduate schools and research training groups).
The Graduate Centre is a cross-faculty umbrella institution for all doctoral researchers, organising a high-calibre qualification programme in the following areas:
- research methods
- principles of good academic practice
- management of academic organisations
