The doctoral journey of our program is characterized by a multi-stage, carefully designed evaluation procedure. This procedure ensures that the academic achievements of our doctoral candidates are comprehensively and thoroughly reviewed – from the initial idea to the finished dissertation.
Our multi-stage review process covers all the relevant phases of the research work:
from the initial conception and development of the methodology to the final analysis and presentation of the results.
This structure guarantees a rigorous and transparent assessment of your academic performance and supports continuous quality development throughout the entire doctoral period.
A key feature of our Ph.D. program is the opportunity to receive qualified, multiple-perspective feedback from an experienced panel of scientists.
This not only promotes the quality of your dissertation, but also strengthens your ability to critically reflect and further develop your academic skills.
For a differentiated and fair assessment, we rely on a two-stage review process:
Graduates of our program are characterized by an exceptionally high level of research competence and in-depth specialist knowledge.
They are in demand not only in the academic world, but also in business, politics or research institutions – as scientifically sound, reflective and interdisciplinary experts.
The pre-defense serves as a preparatory examination phase in which the doctoral students present their research results to a selected group of experts. This stage allows for early critical engagement with the thesis and provides doctoral students with the opportunity to receive valuable feedback to refine and improve their work prior to final submission. This preliminary assessment underlines our commitment to the highest academic standards and the personal and professional development of doctoral students.
The final defense, the actual defense of the dissertation, is the culmination of the doctoral process. In this final examination phase, doctoral students have the opportunity to defend their research work and its contribution to the scientific community in front of a panel of experts. This intensive examination situation not only promotes scientific discussion, but also the ability of the doctoral students to present their research results convincingly and competently.
By combining pre-defense and defense, we ensure that our graduates are not only able to conduct high-quality research, but also have the necessary communication skills to effectively communicate and defend their findings. This rigorous assessment process optimally prepares our doctoral students for successful careers in academia and research-intensive professional fields.
Our doctoral program is fully accredited – a clear sign of compliance with the highest academic and international quality standards.
This accreditation underlines our commitment to excellence in teaching, research and individual supervision of our doctoral students.
Accreditation guarantees that your degree not only meets the highest academic standards, but is also recognized and valued by universities, institutions and employers worldwide .
You benefit from an academic degree with a high reputation and excellent domestic and global career opportunities.
