PhD and Research in Germany

Germany offers excellent research opportunities for EU/international PhD students and researchers. Universities and other higher education institutions as well as public- and private-sector non-university research institutions and large research funding organisations support international researchers with post-doctoral jobs and fellowships.   Interesting development opportunities for international researchers also exist in the research-intensive industry – with small and medium-sized enterprises. Many companies also work closely with universities and research institutions in application-oriented research and development.
