You want to make your PhD in Germany?
You need to get accepted by a PhD supervisor at a host institution or by a research training group, a graduate school? Do you want to apply for a PhD position?
There are two main ways of doing a PhD in Germany: You can either do an individual doctorate on your own under the supervision of a professor, or you can do your doctorate in a structured PhD programme, for example, at a graduate school.
For a PhD place for an individual doctorate, you need to find and apply directly to a professor. For a PhD place in a structured PhD programme, you need to apply at a graduate school or a research training group.
In a structured doctoral programme, it is very likely that you will receive a paid PhD position as a research assistant. However, this is not the case for individual doctorates: in most cases, you will have to apply for a paid doctoral position
Whether you are applying for a PhD supervision, or a place in a structured PhD programme, or a paid PhD position—you need to write a research exposé (also: research proposal). With our PhD coaching, we help you to create a convincing research exposé—to give concise information on your planned PhD research project (your research idea).
