Center for Junior Scholars - TU Berlin

TU Berlin supports successful academic careers all the way through from programs for inquisitive schoolchildren to preparation courses to support students in the doctoral and postdoctoral phase. Diversity is the key to our approach to doctoral research, because different circumstances benefit from different supervision solutions - ranging from "traditional" employment in a university department via cooperation with industrial partners to Research Training Groups or comparable programs.

The Center for Junior Scholars (CJS) supports all doctoral candidates at TU Berlin with information and individual advice. It aims to provide the best possible conditions for early stage researchers, starting with annual introduction sessions for new doctoral candidates in each faculty.

CJS ensures that international doctoral candidates quickly find their feet in Berlin, acquire language skills that help them to get to know their host country and succeed academically thanks to excellent supervision and personal advice. The portfolio includes courses on Good Scientific Practice, Project Planning or the virtual college for Women in Doctoral Research.
