The Department of Materials and Geosciences provides dedicated early career researchers an excellent research and work environment.

There are two ways of gaining a doctorate:

Traditional – doctoral candidates carry out research individually under the supervision of the supervisor and are not bound to a mandatory programme of studies.

Structured – doctoral candidates do their studies within the context of a structured doctoral programme, mostly in a group with other early career researchers.
