Graduate School. While individual research is and remains the core of the doctorate, the TUM Graduate School (TUM-GS) provides a structured framework to support doctoral candidates and their supervisors in the best possible way. This is based on the highest international standards. In accordance with the T<a href="https://www.tum.de/studium/im-studium/das-studium-organisieren/satzungen-ordnungen#statute;t:Promotionsordnung;sort:106" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UM doctoral regulations</a>, this framework includes mandatory qualification elements and administrative steps, which we explain in more detail on this page.
