Your PhD is more than just research.
The official GRK Certificate validates your extra efforts and gives your CV a decisive advantage, officially honoring your commitment directly at your PhD defense.
- Proof of Soft Skills: Formally documents your teaching, leadership, and outreach experience—achievements that a standard doctoral transcript hides.
- Edge in Industry: Provides HR managers with independent, certified proof of your project management and communication skills.
- Defense Distinction: Officially honors your commitment to the scientific community, presented directly at your PhD defense.
How to qualify:

It honors additional achievements in fields like:
- Teaching & Mentoring: Leading exercises and (co-)supervising Bachelor or Master theses at the Institute of Physics.
- GRK Engagement: Active group participation, organizational roles, or serving as a (co-)speaker.
- Outreach & Science Communication: Working with school pupils (e.g., Schülerpraktikum, PhySch).
- Professional Development: Active participation in GRK workshops.
