GRADUATE

ACADEMY

German universities are organised in academic self-administration. All important decisions are made by committees (senate, faculty council, institute council or office for equal opportunities issues). For the status group of doctoral graduates, committee work is not yet a major focus, but their participation in committees is expected. Therefore, you should take the opportunity to represent your doctoral status group at least once in an appointment committee (Berufungskommission). This will be helpful for your own later application for a professorship.
