Formal Steps for Doctoral Researchers at KIT
Doctoral researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) conduct research on KIT's research topics and receive (academic) supervision here. As a research university in the Helmholtz Association, KIT includes the following groups among its doctoral researchers:
- Doctoral researchers pursuing their doctoral examination at a KIT Department
- Doctoral researchers pursuing their doctoral examination at another university
The second group includes doctoral researchers who, for the majority of their doctoral period (> 2 years), conduct their research or receive academic supervision primarily at KIT but undergo their doctoral examination at another university.
On the following pages, we will outline the formal steps that need to be followed from the beginning for each group of doctoral researchers.
