Insurance and tax during the doctoral period
The insurance situation of doctoral candidates differs depending on their status. The decisive factor is whether you are financing your doctorate with a scholarship, are employed as a research assistant or are financing your doctorate in other ways. Information can be found on the Graduate Academy website.
