We help you to navigate the challenges in the various phases of your PhD journey—not only in Germany: From the preparation phase (application for PhD supervision with a research exposé, research proposal, agreements with the PhD supervisor and supervision contract, financing of the doctorate through a PhD position or doctoral scholarship) through the research phase (refinement of research question, research design, methodology to the writing phase (structure and logical text flow of PhD thesis), you will find individual support and solutions as part of the PhD coaching—for example also with the proWiss self-study courses and webinars.

PhD coaching is suitable for PhD candidates in all fields and all academic disciplines, for both theoretical and empirical PhD theses.
We tailor the PhD coaching to your individual needs.

Dr Birte Kathage and PD Dr Reinhard Klein-Arendt have been active in coaching doctoral students for over 20 years. proWiss was one of the first consultancies in Germany to offer PhD coaching within a legal framework. The focus is on ensuring that you are in control of your PhD project—academic responsibility lies with you as the author of the PhD thesis.
We assure you that the content of your PhD project—especially your research idea—will be kept confidential.
