Prerequisites for doctoral studies at the Graduate Centre for Engineering Sciences
To be accepted as a doctoral candidate at the Graduate Centre for Engineering Sciences, you must fulfil the following pre-requisites:
- University degree in a suitable subject: Your study programme lasted at least eight semesters at a university in the Federal Republic of Germany in the discipline of engineering sciences, life sciences or natural sciences, culminating in a “Diplom” degree or a Master’s degree with overall results of at least “good” (i.e., 73 % or higher in the German system).
- Suitability of the topic of your doctorate: The topic proposed for your dissertation must be covered by the Graduate Centre. In principle, a doctorate in any of the engineering-science subjects covered by members of the Graduate Centre is possible. A current overview of the range of subjects at the Graduate Centre is available here. You can also find an overview of the General Assembly where you can see the research interests of all members.
