The Graduate Academy offers doctoral researchers, early postdocs and those interested in doing a doctorate the opportunity to receive advice on topics such as the doctorate in general at Leipzig University, career development and orientation after the doctorate, and dealing with conflicts that may arise during the doctorate.

Advice does not require membership of the Graduate Academy.
