The Graduate Academy at the University of Rostock is the central service and coordination office for doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers. It supports researchers in the early stages of their careers and helps to further develop the conditions for their academic and career development at the University of Rostock.
As a service unit within the Staff Unit Talent Development and Diversity, the Graduate Academy combines advising, skills development and networking. It works closely with faculties, central institutions, and other partners both within and outside the university.
The goal is to create good conditions for the qualification phase and to further develop the university as an attractive place for academic careers.
Tasks of the Graduate Academy
The Graduate Academy works together with other university departments to further develop programs for doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers. These include, in particular, counseling, skills development, and support services, as well as networking opportunities.
Counseling and Support: Counseling and Support: Questions regarding doctoral degrees, the postdoctoral phase, or future academic careers can take many forms. The Graduate Academy provides guidance and helps researchers find the right contacts and services within the university. The Graduate Academy is supported in this effort by the Liaison Officer of the Graduate Academy.
Qualifizierung: An academic career involves more than just good research. Our qualification courses support the development of transferable skills and complement the specialist qualifications offered within the faculties.
