Financing and legal matters
Are you considering doing a doctorate and looking for suitable funding? When it comes to financing your doctorate, you can basically differentiate between whether you are employed as a research assistant, financed by a scholarship or through other external sources. You can also complete a doctorate while working. In some cases, funding for the doctorate can also be mixed or change over time.
