 Choosing the right PhD (2 Paths of PhD in Germany)

 Individual Doctorate – during an individual PhD you will be in contact with your supervisor but will work mainly on
very independent basis. Self discipline and good organizational skills are required for this phd type.

Structured PhD Programme

 Structured phd program – this type is chosen by 23% of phd students in Germany. If you like to work in team, involve
in a project team and want more intensive supervisions, the structured phd programs will be of interest to you.
