Welcome!
Built upon project teams operating on cutting-edge science at the interface of science and engineering, the IGSSE combines academic excellence with high-profile doctoral education. Here, young scientists help create new paths of scientific thinking and simultaneously benefit from an outstanding training program.
Today, challenging research projects demand scientists who are trained to think and work in interdisciplinary collaborations. With the IGSSE, the Technische Universität München (TUM) responds to the new prerequisites for successful careers in both academia and industry.
Covering the research fields of Computational Science & Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Nanotechnology & Advanced Materials, as well as Geodesy and Environment, IGSSE´s interdisciplinary research groups offer valuable knowledge for the scientific community.
About us
IGSSE integrates Natural and Engineering Sciences through graduate and postgraduate education rooted in a strong research foundation.
Admissions
The first step to become an IGSSE doctoral candidate is to find an individual doctoral project integrating science and engineering. Then you may formally apply for an IGSSE membership as part of an IGSSE Project Team.
People
The talents of our doctoral candidates and the internationally acknowledged expertise of our senior scientists define the quality of the IGSSE. They lay the foundation for a truly interdisciplinary and excellent doctoral education at our graduate school.
Research
68 interdisciplinary Project Teams have been set up since IGSSE’s inauguration in October 2006. In these project teams, doctoral candidates and senior scientists explore cutting-edge research topics at the interface of science and engineering.
Training
IGSSE's structured Research Training Program (RTP) promotes our doctoral candidates´ personality and broadens their scientific qualifications beyond the scope of their individual research projects.
