Subject-Related Training¶
The Graduate of Natural Sciences offers a wide range of subject-related training modules. Each doctoral candidate takes part with at least 10 CPs, which is equivalent to the six weekly course hours (SWS) [1] required by the regulations for the award of doctoral degrees.
Please discuss questions about suitable subject-specific courses with your supervisor, as he or she knows both your Ph.D. project and your existing skills.
Our catalog is open; suitable modules and courses can be added anytime. Furthermore, new courses may extend the Graduate Center of Natural Sciences portfolio.
Additional Courses not yet included in the catalog¶
Please get in touch with the office of the Graduate Center of Natural Sciences if you are missing a course on a specific topic. We will support you by checking for new courses or inviting external lecturers.
As a member of the teaching staff at the TUM School of Natural Sciences, you may offer courses to support Ph.D. candidates; We support you and have some funding for traditional seminars and winter or summer schools, and even innovative or utterly new teaching formats are possible.
Furthermore, you may deepen and extend your physics skills by visiting modules from the special courses catalog of our Master’s programs. You can find the module catalog of special courses on our other web pages (section M. Sc./Special Courses).
External courses¶
A recognition of subject-related training offered by other departments or institutions is possible. The decision on whether a course is “subject-related” and fits your knowledge is up to your supervisor.
