The Graduate Academy supports their members within the scope of their qualification with an interdisciplinary qualification program.

A further aim of the funding opportunities is to support the scientific exchange and presentation of research results. Members of the Graduate Academy can use up to 500 EUR of their member budget for travel allowances. Further 500 EUR of their member budget can be used by the members for external qualification measures. These include language courses at the Language Centre and collegiate didactic courses on university didactics. In addition, special research methods and IT courses are also financed if they are relevant for the qualification phase and are not offered at the University of Rostock.

Furthermore, the Graduate Academy aims to establish support programmes for young scientists that contribute to maintaining or restoring personal and inner balance in order to be able to cope with professional and private stress situations with self-confidence in the long term.
