Doctoral counselling
Notice
From now on, doctoral counsel will no longer be offered via the previous contact point.
From now on, doctoral candidates and those interested in doing a doctorate should contact the department for Study Matters, which will be happy to help with questions about doctoral supervision, admission or general procedures.
Practical guide to doctoral studies
On the pages of the Graduate Centre you will find all the important information on organisational and administrative matters before and during your doctorate at the CAU.
Financing the doctorate
There are many different ways to finance a doctorate. Some doctoral candidates work outside the university, some as research assistants, others finance themselves through a scholarship. On the website of the CAU's Human Resources Department you will find advertisements for current vacancies. And on the pages of the CAU Graduate Centre you will find several lists of all important contact points for scholarshipse.g. sorted by subject area.
