FAU accompanies researchers along their entire career path: from a doctoral degree (R1), through the postdoc phase (R2) to a professorship (R3/R4). Whether you are completing a doctoral degree, gaining further academic qualifications, or are aiming at a professorship, FAU is the place to come for guidance, advice and tailored support.
From a doctoral degree to a professorship
Around 800 doctoral degrees are awarded at FAU every year. The path toward a doctoral degree is the start of a career in research: It starts during the doctoral phase, continues during the postdoctoral phase and culminates in a professorship, where possible. FAU accompanies and supports you during each of these phases. Further information about the paths, programs and prospects open to you at FAU is available on the sub-pages.
