Are you in the final phase of your Master studies or already working in a scientific team and considering whether you would like to or should start a Ph.D. after graduation? Perhaps your professor has already suggested a doctorate to you?
The decision for or against a Ph.D. depends not only on a suitable topic, but also on clarifying a variety of organizational and personal questions. What do I want to achieve with my Ph.D.? Which doctoral path is the right one for me? How do I find a topic and a supervisor? What formalities and regulations do I have to take into account (admission, status, scientific supervisor & supervision agreements, etc.)? What financing options are possible? And where can I find support?
In theevent „Career Option: PhD", jointly organised by the Career Service,Division 1: Planning, Statistics, Research Affairs and the Potsdam GraduateSchool, on November 12, 2025 from 1 - 3 p.m., you will receive input fromdoctoral researchers and doctoral graduates on these important topics and canask your questions.
The eventwill take place online via Zoom in English.
