"Scientists face the same problem as slobs. Everything is there, you just have to look for it." (Franz Kern)
The Faculty of Business and Economics would like to support PhD students in their "Search Process" while writing their thesis. Therefore, it organises the workshop "Do your PhD at the Faculty of Business and Economics" twice a year. The workshop especially addresses new faculty staff and (external) PhD students who start writing or in the early stages of writing their thesis. All other PhD students are also warmly welcome.
The workshop is organised and run by former PhD students of the faculty who discuss the main stages of writing a thesis, the challenges and obstacles involved as well as helpful tips. Furthermore, the objective is to connect PhD students with each other.
