Through Paderborn University’s peer mentoring programme “Einblick!”, female students can find out whether a PhD is the right choice for them. The next intake starts in September. Anyone interested can find out more about the programme during an online event on Wednesday 15 July, from 1 pm to 2 pm. A former mentee will also be sharing her experiences. To receive the Zoom link, you must complete the registration form.
This well-established programme is aimed at female students nearing the end of their degree who wish to give serious consideration to pursuing a PhD. The programme is open to prospective doctoral candidates from all faculties who are interested in a PhD and are in the final stages of their degree, i.e. roughly in their third or fourth Master’s semester. Throughout the winter semester, regular small-group meetings will take place, led by a doctoral candidate acting as a mentor. In addition, workshops will be on offer for topics such as funding, choosing a research topic, making an application for academic positions for the first time, and self-management. The aim of the programme is to support female students in deciding whether or not to pursue a PhD, so that, if necessary, they can receive early support in preparing their first steps.
The application deadline for the coming programme year is Saturday 15 August. Further information and the application form are available on the Peer Mentoring Programme’s website.
