After successful completion of the course, students are able to work stepwise self-dependent at the topics of their PhD thesis. After an introductory phase PhD students start under supervision but proceed more and more self-dependent to investigate methodically correct the topics of their PhD thesis, discuss the results and finally write down the thesis.

Supervision of PhD students, discussion about progress of PhD thesis

Regular discussions within the working group and if necessary on individual basis.
