Welcome at the Graduate Academy at Hamburg University of Technology

When applying for and implementing coordinated programs to foster young scientists, third-party funders such as the DFG and BMBF increasingly stipulate that doctoral candidates not only enjoy excellent subject-specific training, but are also given the opportunity to take advantage of generic offers to enhance career-relevant skills so that they can develop into scientific personalities at the highest international level. The teaching of so-called transferable skills is thus becoming increasingly important in the training of young scientists.

The Graduate Academy advises you in the application process for research training groups and other programs for the promotion of young scientists with regard to the design of generic components and gender-relevant issues or measures for the targeted promotion of young female scientists. It also supports you in the concrete design, organization and implementation of such measures.
