At the Doctoral School of Chemical and Process Engineering at TU Graz, you will be given in-depth academic training in chemical and process engineering. Depending on the subject of your dissertation, you will complete either a doctoral programme in engineering sciences or a doctoral programme in natural sciences. You will undertake theoretical or practical research in an area of chemical and process engineering and share your experiences with both the scientific community at the doctoral school and researchers at other institutions.
