A structured curriculum is offered in English to prepare doctoral researchers for a career in an international environment either in the public or private sector. Progress in developing excellent interdisciplinary knowledge and self-reliance is monitored by a system based on the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). Each doctoral researcher is required to acquire a minimum of 20 ECTS during the 3-year training program (>10 ECTS through the compulsory program and >5 ECTS through electives). Associated doctoral researchers funded by other sources will participate in the same curriculum.
