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.

Dissertation

  • You find and describe approaches to solve technical problems and problems of natural sciences.
  • You conduct research independently in an application area of chemistry.
  • You participate in national and international conferences.
  • You publish, present and defend research results.

Courses (curricular workload)

  • You build up broad basic knowledge and specialise in the field of your dissertation.
