After successful completion of the course, students are able to continue working on their problems, research questions and hypotheses and to formulate independent scientific contributions in a methodical way.
The International Doctoral College is open to excellently qualified candidates from a wide range of spatially relevant disciplines who would like to engage in an intensive, academically creative discourse on difficult, spatially relevant problems within the framework of a doctoral thesis (PhD) and with a view to elaborating viable and innovative attempts at solutions.
The Doctoral College takes difficult, highly complex and complicated problems of spatial development as its starting point. The latter usually cut across several different disciplines, affect a diverse range of geographical reference areas and involve numerous actors from the public and private sectors.
The exchange is stimulated by addressing specific case studies as part of a common framework theme.
Active contribution to the exchange of ideas, presentation of the progress of the research work (research plan, key chapter, findings) and writing an scientific report.
