PhD student council of the Department of Physics
The PhD student council represents the interests of the PhD students at the KIT faculty of Physics. On our website you will find information and additional links to many PhD related topics. Once a semester we meet officially to discuss about PhD related topics and to pass resolutions, e.g.:
- Process of doing a doctorate (Promotionsvereinbarung, Promotionsordnung, oral exam procedure, ...)
- Working conditions (contract of employment, studentship, teaching, ...)
- Networking of the Ph.D. students
- more at Projects & Topics
Questions and suggestions are most welcome.
Just contact us via physik-doktoranden-vorstand∂lists kit edu.

The PhD student council developed a new How-To-Start-PhD flyer to help with getting started with your PhD at KIT.
On May 14th 2025 starting at 6pm, there will be a PhD in physics Get-Together to help with starting or ending your PhD and getting to know people. The event contains a greeting and introduction by our dean Prof. Guido Drexlin as well as a introduction of the Ombudspersons by Prof. Stefan Hinz. There will be drinks at Fermisee afterwards.
