The Federal States of the Republic of Germany promote highly qualified national & international scientists and researchers under optimal conditions in accordance with the Anglo-American model. Their Graduate Schools offer structured doctoral training in form of (research-focused) doctoral studies and intensive individual supervision of doctoral thesis / dissertation projects. By offering interdisciplinary collaboration among faculties and international orientation, Graduate Schools prepare their students in an optimal way for positions in interdisciplinary and international research contexts. Graduate Schools, in contrast to Research Training Groups, (Graduiertenkollegs = temporary institutions) are part of the respective university and therefore contribute to structure-building in research and teaching.
