Graduate-Centre GCS
In 2009 the TU Munich set the research-led doctoral qualification as a core area and founded the TUM Graduate School (TUM GS) as central scientific institute.
Since then the TUM-GS offers for each doctoral candidate of TUM an attractive qualification program during his or her doctoral project .
The Graduate Centre TUM Campus Straubing (GCS) is on the one hand a part of the TUM GS and on the other hand a unit of TUM Campus Straubing for Biotechnology and Sustainability. To support all doctoral candidates of the GCS in the best way, the GCS offers a demand-oriented qualification program, which fits the requirements of the TUM GS and is adapted to local needs.
Because of this as a member of GCS you are a member of TUM Graduate School, too.
The general manager of the graduate centre is Dr. Marina Zapilko.
