A doctorate is an important career step for anyone who is aiming for an academic career or wants to further their professional or didactic training and influence the organisation of the education system. In order to achieve the desired goals, you must first realise how a doctorate fits into your own life planning.

After all, you will be working intensively on a subject area for several years and will need the personal energy and financial resources to drive your project forward at an academic level during this time.

Your chosen doctoral topic should be innovative and relevant to the further development of the education and training system. Most importantly, however, you should be interested in it yourself. Have questions or topics arisen during your studies or your work as a teacher that you would like to explore in more depth? If your topic fits in with the content and profile of the teacher training programme, we will be happy to support you. You can also find suggestions for your topic search in the project descriptions of professors at the University of Oldenburg in the DiZ research information system.
