At the beginning of your doctorate, you must first find a doctoral supervisor to supervise and support your project. You will find possibilities and ways to approach this as well as further information for applicants on the homepage of the TUM Graduate School. You will find advertised doctoral positions at the TUM Campus Straubing in the job offers.
Once you have found a doctoral position, the following steps will follow at the beginning of the doctorate:
- Entry in the doctoral list
- Find a Mentor
- Matriculation (optional)
Execution of the Promotion
In order to successfully complete your doctorate, you must, in addition to submitting your dissertation, complete an accompanying qualification programme (link to the download page), which contains various mandatory elements.
These should promote the professional and interdisciplinary skills of the doctoral candidates and thus support the doctorate in the best possible way. In addition, there are various optional offers as well as special financial support, e.g. the proofreading service and internationalisation measures.
The GCS team will be happy to advise you on the mandatory and optional elements of the TUM-GS qualification programme.
