PhD

We provide customized training and mentoring. We emphasize the development of research and professional skills, such as the ability to work in teams. In short, we aim to develop committed and responsible academics and future professionals who continually explore and push the boundaries of existing knowledge. Our doctorates are internationally oriented, multi- and interdisciplinary, curious and results-oriented, and have an impact on science, society and economy.
