Doctoral schools by study program
In the fall of 2020, the University of Vienna established the first Vienna Doctoral Schools (VDS), also known as doc:schools. They offer a structured, internationally competitive doctoral program with team supervision and various funding opportunities.
By now, there are doc:schools in all fields of study. In the winter semester of 23/24, already two thirds of all doctoral students were enrolled in a doc:school (in the winter semster of 22/23 it was half).
The percentage of women in doc-schools in the winter semester of 23/24 was 52 %, in non-schools it was 51 %.
