The Dean of the "Zeppelin University Graduate School | ZUGS", Professor Dr Dr h.c. mult. Alfred Kieser, at the same time represented on the board as Vice President | Research, is excited about his role. "We are looking forward to exciting PhD projects, especially those that are not part of the mainstream and that are interdisciplinary. By means of a program that allows an education tailor-made for the specific project, we lay the foundations for this."

After receiving the right to award doctoral and postdoctoral (professorial teaching qualification) degrees in September 2011, ZUGS now supports all stages in an academic career.

It is not only oriented towards the faculties, but also towards the multi-disciplinary research clusters and associations of Zeppelin University - and this is unique in Germany.

In this way, the ZUGS combines an interdisciplinary research horizon with faculty-specific knowledge for the two academic degrees

Individuality
In the classical Humboldtian sense, research on the cutting edge of the 21st century requires personalities. Research makes personalities - with a sense for questioning the in-between, i.e. asking questions that have not been asked before in this way and where you simply know that there is more than one productive answer. And personalities shape research - by sharp observation and asking innovative questions that concern society as a whole.

Relationally Able to Relate
The best way to learn research is by role models and by researching with others. And it is most successful in manageable teams with a clearly defined contact person and in groundbreaking cooperations between scholars on all levels of academic discovery.
