Special Career Tuesday: PhD
In cooperation with the Cologne Graduate School (CGS), possibilities for (WiSo) graduates will be shown how a scientific career can look like. For this purpose, a post-doc candidate will report on what a PhD means and what this career path means for the future. In addition, PhD programs and paths will be presented, as well as application procedures and other criteria for a successful start. An active professor will share his or her experiences with you and present content on current research topics.
The aim of this event is to make it easier for future doctoral candidates to start their doctorate and to inspire interested students to do a PhD. It will also be about drawing a realistic picture of the doctorate project and showing what this career path means for your own future. To this end, three researchers from the WiSo Faculty present doctoral paths in their respective departments (economics, political science and social sciences) and link these with their individual experience reports. In this context, current research topics and priorities are shared with you in order to give you an impression of how diverse and broad-based the research landscape at the WiSo Faculty is. Finally, information is provided about the requirements for a doctorate, the application process and opportunities to start a PhD at the WiSo Faculty, as well as funding options.
