Doing a PhD in Germany brings a lot of challenges – the most important one is to understand the German Academic System and the course of a PhD in Germany. This training explains the hidden rules of the Academic System in Germany. You get to know the phases of a PhD project and a deep insight about rules, time-lines, tasks and common pitfalls of doing a PhD. You learn about the examination process, from handing-in, the course of a defense until publication of your work. You will get an overview about the German Higher Education system and possibilities of networking and career opportunities.

As a very important topic, you gain insight in academic communication rules and institutional working culture. You will have a close look in the communication and relations to your supervisors, colleagues and other co-workers. You will gain a greater understanding of intercultural communication and how to get the support you need.

This workshop is open to all users of the Hamburg Research Academy - especially for international doctoral researchers. The participation is free of charge.
