In addition to undertaking a doctoral research the Graduate School Science, Medicine and Technology (OLTECH) offers six structured, three-year PhD study programmes. These study programmes focus on the research fields of: Neurosensory Science and Systems Molecular and Nanoscale Science Environmental Sciences and Biodiversity Renewable Energy Mathematics and Fundamental Physics Medicine and Health Sciences For especially gifted and motivated students with special qualifications, a fast track programme combines a MSc and a PhD study programme. More information about the requirements for a fast-track option can be found here. The members of the Graduate School are trained in scientific knowledge, communication competences and transferable skills. The PhD students are thus able to develop strategies for their present and future scientific career. The core of the programme is an independent doctoral research project in one of the participating research groups. In addition to their scientific research, students have to take courses in three main areas:- Specialised scientific knowledge In these courses, students broaden and deepen their scientific knowledge in the context of their field of research and acquire the necessary skills to perform their laboratory work. Students take an active part in colloquia, congresses, summer schools and lab visits abroad.- Communication competence Students are trained in communication and improve their expertise in knowledge transfer.- Interdisciplinary competence and transferable skills Students can develop strategies and expertise for their scientific career. The main issues are data management (statistics), scientific writing, publishing one's own research results, writing proposals for grants and funds and training for job applications. For the career development of young female researchers, a special mentoring programme is provided. Part-time studies are possible. The Graduate School OLTECH and the PhD programmes encourage networking with other research institutions and enterprises. OLTECH also funds the participation in international congresses, summer schools and lab visits. For new PhD students, OLTECH offers a welcome workshop every term.
