With its long tradition, the German doctorate in engineering, Dr.-Ing., has made a major contribution to the quality of the brand “Made in Germany”. Cooperation between engineering and the natural sciences, and interdisciplinary research is very important in Germany. If you wish to be part of this research environment you should choose to do your doctorate here.

From Automotive Engineering to Water Resources and Environmental Management TU9 Universities offer a range of English Master courses in Engineering, the Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Computer Sciences.

An analysis carried out for TU9 by the Federal Statistical Office confirms the leading position of the nine major technical universities for engineering degrees and doctorates. And: some ten percent of all students in Germany are registered at TU9 universities.

Here you can find recent job openings at TU9 Universities with application deadlines ranging from January to February 2012. The focus lies on doctorate positions and professorships as well as employments as research assistants.

Im internationalen Graduiertenkolleg EuCAR - „Arterielle Umbauprozesse“ forschen Nach- wuchswissenschaftler grenzüberschreitend an den Aachener und Maastrichter Universitäts- klinika auf dem Gebiet der Herz- und Gefäßerkrankungen.

Im neu bewilligten DFG-Graduiertenkolleg „Entwicklung von Entscheidungsmodellen im Produktionsanlauf“ wird interdisziplinär daran geforscht, wie der Start neuer Produkte in der Industrie schon in der Planungsphase möglichst optimal gestaltet werden kann.

A new doctoral program under the auspices of the Excellence Initiative of the German state and federal governments.

The Graduate School BITGRAD is an ambitious attempt to fundamentally improve the training of 150 to 200 doctoral students of applied IT in a regional network of RWTH Aachen University, the University of Bonn and three Fraunhofer research institutes.

High ranking research in catalysis covers a broad range of topics from natural sciences to engineering. The successful performance of this research programme, which is unique in Germany, requires highly qualified and motivated young researchers in the different projects. With the founding of BIG-NSE, UniCat aims to recruit the most gifted students and young researchers in the world and offer them a broad high level structured educational programme in order to prepare them for the high ranking research performed at the cluster.

The Berlin Mathematical School obtained major funding as a Graduate School in the framework of the German "Excellence Initiative".

The need of industrial research and development offices for graduates with special knowledge in the area of Computational Sciences in Engineering (CSE) is growing considerably. In order to meet this demand, the internationally-oriented, bilingual Master of Science programme CSE has been established at the Technical University of Braunschweig. The international orientation which is underlined by offering English and German classes, and the interdisciplinary orientation which is supported by the cooperation of different scientific areas and institutes, extends the career chances of the graduates considerably.

The degree program »Mobility and Transportation« was introduced in the winter semester 2006/07.The graduates will have acquired problem-solving competence, which they can put into practice with their subject knowledge. Their integrated mixture of general and specialized skills enables them to take on strategic tasks and a high level of responsibility, especially with a view to a later                                       management role.

Die konzipierte Graduate School of Computational Engineering befasst sich mit computergestützter Modellierung, Analyse, Simulation und Optimierung.

Der deutsche Maschinenbau verdankt seinen guten Ruf in erster Linie den hervorragenden Leistungen seiner Ingenieure. Damit Deutschland im Maschinenbau auch zukünftig diese herausragende Rolle einnehmen kann, müssen sich gerade technische Universitäten den Herausforderungen der Zukunft stellen. Die TU Darmstadt hat als erste deutsche Universität ein kombiniertes Bachelor-/Master-                                       programm im Maschinenbau angeboten.

The "Dresden International Graduate School for Biomedicine and Bioengineering" (DIGS-BB) at TU Dresden has been awarded funding under the German government's Excellence Initiative.

Die Untersuchung der aktuellen Entwicklungen an den Schnittstellen der drei Disziplinen ist das Thema der geplanten Forschungsarbeiten, die von der Analysis auf singulären Räumen und freien Randwertaufgaben über die komplexe und algebraische Geometrie sowie die Differentialgeometrie bis hin zu integrablen Modellen und topologischer Stringtheorie ein breites Spektrum abdecken.

Die Studierenden des Masterstudiengangs „Landschaftsarchitektur“ bekommen hohe entwerferische Kompetenzen vermittelt. Das Wissen um Geschichte und Theorie von Natur, Landschaft und Gärten wird vertieft. Im Masterstudiengang „Umweltplanung“ werden Inhalte und Methoden des planerischen Umwelt- und Naturschutzes sowie der Raumplanung weitergegeben.

The Karlsruhe School of Optics & Photonics was established in 2006 as a public funded project by the Deutsche Forschungs- gemeinschaft (DFG) within the scope of the Excellence Initiative by the German Federal and State Goverments to promote Science and Research at German universities.

The TUM International Graduate School of Science and Engineering (IGSSE) is an interdisciplinary scientific institution of the Technische Universität München (TUM). It is sponsored by the Excellence Initiative of the German federal and state governments with more than 7 million Euros in funds for the period 2006 - 2011.

Die Idee von GSaME ist die nachhaltige Weiterentwicklung der wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen des advanced Industrial Engineering und eine interdisziplinäre Spitzenausbildung von Managern, Ingenieuren und Wissenschaftlern. Einzigartig ist dabei das duale System für Doktoranden, bei dem sich wissenschaftliche Ausbildungsphasen mit Forschungsphasen in der Industrie ab-                                       wechseln.

Solid state science has revolutionized our world. The computer, wireless communication, the laser, the internet, television, radio, and many more technical innovations would not exist without solid state science. More than 25 Nobel prize winners of the last 20 years in Physics and Chemistry were awarded the prize for their achievements in solid state science.
