Welcome to the Graduate Academy of the TU Clausthal

The Graduate Academy of the Clausthal University of Technology is a service institution for young scientists of all qualification levels at the Clausthal University of Technology. We understand this to include the group of doctoral candidates, post-docs (or PhDs) as well as those newly appointed. In a holistic approach we would like to offer information, advice and further education for all career phases for further qualification, interdisciplinary competence development and career advancement. In a wide variety of events, there is also the opportunity to form networks, also beyond one's own subject boundaries, in order to dare to look beyond one's own nose and to benefit both professionally and personally.

We are the central service and coordination point for career promotion and competence development of young scientists, including all doctoral candidates, postdocs, junior group leaders and junior professors at Clausthal University of Technology.

We offer qualification programs for the acquisition of interdisciplinary competences and for career development, career and information events for the promotion of young scientists, support in the quality assurance of doctoral procedures, advice and services for young scientists.

We want to support young scientists in pursuing their own career paths and provide them with the methodological tools to do so. It is important to us to draw attention to the acquisition of further interdisciplinary competencies and to point out alternative career paths.
