PhD program for early career jumps - SciWay at utg
The SciWay enables ambitious students to immerse themselves in the world of doctoral studies at an early stage and to gain scientific qualifications in an unique way. By participating in the SciWay program of the Chair of Metal Forming and Casting at TUM, Master's students who are particularly interested in research have the opportunity to combine their Master's and doctoral studies and at the same time work towards a doctorate.
The SciWay at utg thus offers an excellent opportunity for students to advance their scientific careers at an early stage and establish themselves in the academic world.
