Details
In the doctoral programme, doctoral candidates work on their research question in depth under the guidance of a team of experienced professors. At the same time, they continue their education in special lectures, at conferences, etc. and present their research results there. Doctoral students benefit in a special way from the faculty's modern pool of large-scale equipment as well as the close networking of chemistry with neighbouring faculties and the Max Planck Institutes on the Göttingen Campus.
The doctoral programme ends with the submission of the doctoral thesis and the oral defense.
