Doctoral orientation

We want to encourage women to consider a career in science and, if appropriate, to pursue a doctorate.

To this end, we offer regular workshops and individual counselling.

Support for female doctoral students

We provide female doctoral candidates with individual support tailored to their needs.

To this end, we first assess their needs in a personal consultation. Together, we plan the next steps to provide the best possible support. We can assist in the search for suitable mentors or offer small-scale financial support.

11 February marks the annual International Day of Women and Girls in Science. This day of action recognises the crucial role of women and girls in science and technology, and aims to encourage, promote and support them.

In this context, the Department for Equity and Diversity would like to highlight the achievements of female scientists at Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences: Female scientists at HHN introduce themselves, provide insight into their work and explain their motivations for pursuing a scientific career.
