Supervision agreement Cooperative doctorate
FH Aachen recommends the conclusion of a supervision agreement between professorial supervisors at FH Aachen and their doctoral candidates. Special emphasis is placed on creating excellent conditions for the qualification of scientists at the beginning of their career. Excellent supervision of doctoral candidates within the framework of a transparent and binding organisation of the doctoral phase promotes the development of highly qualified academics. You will soon find a template that you can design according to the needs and framework conditions of your doctoral candidates and yourself here.
If the doctoral project is carried out with the PK NRW, please use the PK NRW supervision agreement template.
