International students
To all international doctoral candidates and anyone interested in becoming one:
We are “VetDocs” – representing doctoral candidates of the veterinary faculty at LMU, Munich.
Our aim is to provide a platform of support for all things “thesis”.
After graduation it isn’t easy to start a thesis and to find answers to all the questions that inevitably arise. Questions such as; how will I finance it, how does the supervision work, do I need insurance, which department is the best for me, who are the contact persons etc. Just finding a suitable thesis can be a challenge.
Our group consists of independent doctoral candidates, who can help you not to repeat the mistakes that others did before you. We want to help you to get along at our university, as smoothly as possible.
Unfortunately it isn't possible to achieve a PhD grade at the Veterinary Department yet. Implementation of a program is in progress in some veterinary faculties in germany; but in munich acquiring a PhD is (almost) impossible at the moment.
Typically, the doctoral degree granted at our faculty is "Dr. med. vet.". Some other titles are also possible, though.
Please contact us. We will try to answer all your questions and above all, support you to become a member of the Veterinary Department of the LMU, Munich.
IMPORTANT: at the moment we have no members who have special knowledge about the paperwork required for foreign veterinarians who want to do their thesis in munich. We will try to help you with all the information that is usefull for any veterinarian (be he/she native to germany or a foreigner) doing his or her doctoral thesis in munich, but we have no special expertise to help you get your approbation or any other degrees accredited etc.
