PhD Survey
Table of contents
Faculty Survey
At the faculty, we have been conducting a survey of our doctoral candidates and postdocs for many years. The survey helps us to identify concerns and problems and enables us to further develop the conditions for our early career researchers.
The most important topics in the survey are:
- Satisfaction with supervision
- Satisfaction with doctoral education
- Publishing culture
- Working conditions
- Perceived lack of appreciation and discrimination in the work environment
The results of the surveys of the last 5 years can be found in the internal web area.
Nacaps Study
TU Dresden has been a partner university of the Nacaps Study of the German Centre for Higher Education and Science Research (DZHW) since 2020. Nacaps stands for "National Academics Panel Study" and is a nationwide longitudinal study of doctoral students and doctoral graduates.
At TU Dresden, more than 1300 doctoral students took part in the survey in 2021. You can read some of the key results on doctoral studies at TU Dresden here. You will be invited to the nacaps survey by e-mail and we would like to motivate you to participate in this nationwide survey.
