Applications

Applications can be made via Ulm University, IEEE Germany Young Professionals and FAU.

Features

In KoRaTo, a 3-year degree programme comprising a total of 20 ECTS credits and teaching both subject-related skills and soft skills is created for each doctoral candidate and defined in the supervision agreement. The requested research training group is located at the interface between theoretical/mathematical key disciplines and application-oriented concepts. Engineers who possess skills in both these areas and are able to bring them together are currently highly sought after in research and industry. As such an interdisciplinary understanding of systems is often only gained to a limited extent, the aim of this research training group is to close this gap.
