Ph.D. Student Change of Environment

We require that our Ph.D. students spend a significant part of their Ph.D. study period (typically 6 months) at another institution. The purpose of this is for the student to be exposed to more than one research environment, more than one advisor, and to get a start building up own research contacts. To ensure quality advising, students are often sent to close contacts of the members of the school. Institutions where students of faculty members associated with the research training program have been sent include the following:

• Curtin University of Technology, Australia
• Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon, France
• Freie Universität Berlin, Germany
• Georgia Institute of Technology, U.S.A.
• Goldsmiths College University of London, United Kingdom
• Los Alamos National Laboratory, U.S.A.
• New York University, U.S.A.
• Southern Methodist University, Dallas, U.S.A.
• Stanford University, U.S.A.
• Universität Dortmund, Germany
• University of British Columbia, Canada
• University of Montreal, Canada
• University of Pittsburgh, U.S.A.
