WelcomeDoc/FAQ

A registration is required for booking events of the Graduate Academy Grad^TUBS. This is done via a registration form, which we will be happy to send you on request. Please contact us via our email address gradtubs@tu-braunschweig.de (or gradtubs-registration@tu-braunschweig.de). After having received the completed form, we will activate your user ID for our programme. Please allow approx. 3 days for this process. Once you have been activated, you can book our events via Stud.IP.

A user ID is required for registration. Enrolled doctoral researchers receive the user ID automatically with their student card. If you do not have a user ID, please apply for one at Gauß-IT-Zentrum, where you will receive a so-called „y-number“ for enrolled doctoral students or „i-number“ as an employee of TU Braunschweig. This is the same log-in data that is required to access the TU mails.

Each faculty / department, respectively, determines which courses are credited with how many Credit Points (ECTS) as an obligatory component of your doctoral process. For information on the accreditation of Grad^TUBS workshops, please check the information available under "Regulations".

In compliance with service agreement 39 at Technische Universität Braunschweig (Dienstvereinbarung 39), the council of the graduate academy recommends that PhD researchers are released from work in order to participate in Grad^TUBS courses. However, this recommendation is not legally binding. Therefore, please refer to your supervisor for an individual agreement.

You will receive a certificate of attendance for every workshop or other event that you participate in at Grad^TUBS. You will need these certificates to submit them as proof for fulfilling the obligatory qualification part of your doctoral process.

In addition to the regular workshop programme, Grad^TUBS supports PhD researchers in planning and developing their career inside and outside of the university by connecting them to regional and transregional employers and research institutes. Early-stage researchers obtain competences and qualifications to promote their career in research and beyond while learning the interdisciplinary basics of methods and content in career development. On the other hand, companies receive the opportunity to get insights into the state-of-the-art of research while reinforcing their appeal to highly qualified junior researchers in the region and building their network within the university.
