Framework of a PhD project
A PhD project in the Graduate School of Science and Engineering occurs in an organizational setting in which four parties contribute to the project’s overall quality:
1. Research group Each PhD student works as part of a research group composed of one or more professors working on related scientific topics. The research group is the PhD student’s scientific home during the four-year thesis research period |
2. Research institute Each research group belongs to one of the faculty's thirteen research institutes |
3. Research schools Research schools are local or national organizations for graduate education and research, focusing on a particular research topic |
4. Graduate School The Graduate School of Science and Engineering covers all administrative functions, oversees the process leading up to a thesis defence, organises and facilitates trainings via the PhD Academy, and serves as a central point of inquiry for all matters that are not directly related to research. |
