Doctoral School of Chemistry

In the Doctoral School of Chemistry at TU Graz, your work as a junior scientist focuses on basic research or you specialise in applied research. Depending on the specialisation of your dissertation, you graduate from a doctoral programme in technical sciences or a doctoral programme in natural sciences.

As part of the scientific community of the doctoral school, you are closely involved in research and you participate in lively exchanges with teachers, researchers and other students. By taking part in conferences and specialist events, you broaden your knowledge in your chosen specialisation, and make contacts with researchers from Austria and abroad.
