Have you encountered new challenges in the course of your doctoral or postdoctoral qualification phase?

Unfortunately, the Graduate School's counselling and coaching services are currently on hiatus. However, you will find suitable contact persons in other departments as well. The Leuphana ombudspersons are available to you in cases of conflict. If you have any concerns about career planning, the Transfer Service with its start-up counselling or the (academic) Human Resources Development can help you. For all questions regarding the administration of your doctoral process, please contact the Student Services or the Dean's Office of your faculty.
