All doctoral programmes can become member institutions of the Graduate Academy.

As part of the admission procedure, the Board of the Academy examines whether the conception of the doctoral programme meets university-wide binding quality standards in doctoral qualification. Accordingly, membership of the Graduate Academy represents a seal of quality. If you have any questions regarding the admission of a doctoral programme to the Graduate Academy, please contact Dr. Gunda Huskobla.

In the interests of quality assurance, all member programmes of the Graduate Academy are to be evaluated regularly. For this purpose, the principles of the evaluation procedure (in German) were established in 2018.
