A doctorate is an individual journey – but that doesn’t mean you have to navigate every challenge on your own. In the winter semester 2026/27, a new round of “Together”, the moderated peer group coaching programme for international doctoral researchers at UDE, will begin. Applications are open until 27 September 2026.
Exchanging experiences with other doctoral researchers can open up new perspectives and help you gain greater clarity about your own doctoral journey. “Together” provides a consistent setting for this exchange over six months: participants bring in their own topics and experiences, develop ideas and strategies together, and benefit from the feedback and support of the group.
The programme offers opportunities to reflect on your professional role, become more aware of your own resources and develop individual strategies for challenging situations. Mutual motivation, networking and appreciation are also important parts of the group experience.
