Testimonials

Tyroller, Maria
Research assistant for media didactics and communication

 

I have already received a lot of important information for my doctoral thesis through the doctoral programme, such as what I need to consider when preparing an ethics proposal. I also find the networking aspect very enriching: a small community of doctoral students has emerged that comes together again and again as part of the courses. As a result, the path to a doctorate doesn't feel ‘lonely’ but ‘together’.

The doctorate at Ansbach University of Applied Sciences in cooperation with OTH Amberg-Weiden opens up exciting opportunities. Here I can optimally combine my research in the field of AI security with my work. The collegial environment encourages regular dialogue and keeps motivation high. Our supervisor, Prof Dr Schacht, has created an excellent research environment in which we share and discuss articles and research papers in a joint group. These resources, organised thematically, enable us to stay up to date at all times. Interdisciplinary collaboration with other doctoral students broadens our horizons and creates valuable connections. Ansbach University of Applied Sciences offers ideal conditions for a successful doctorate.

Lin, Wanwei
Research assistant in the female professors programme

I enjoy research. I always ask myself the question of why and enjoy explaining these phenomena. It also enables me to understand the world with fewer preconceptions and to reduce the distortions in my perception. Through scientific work, I see deeper connections and can analyse the findings systematically and critically. I am not travelling this exciting and enriching journey alone here at Ansbach University of Applied Sciences, but together with my doctoral colleagues. Our collaboration and exchange make research even more fulfilling and inspiring.

Is a doctorate the right thing for me?

Am I passionately motivated to immerse myself in a topic? What are my academic/professional goals? Am I willing to commit the time to several years of research? Will I receive sufficient support (professional, family)? What impact will a doctorate have on my career? Am I financially secure, what options are there? Does a doctorate fit in with my current life circumstances? Are there alternative ways to achieve my goals?
