Questionnaire of Nacaps 2018 - first wave 

Welcome to the doctoral candidates and doctorate holders survey "Nacaps"! For a German version of the survey please click on the flag in the header! Depending on your personal life situation, the survey will take about 25 to 35 minutes. You can also complete the survey on your smartphone, but answering on a larger screen is easier and faster. You can interrupt the survey at any time and continue at a later moment. Once you have answered all the questions, you will then have the opportunity to participate in the announced raffle.

In order to avoid double surveys, we would like – with your consent – to pass on the answers you have given in the questionnaire to this university for the purpose of quality assurance and evaluation in the field of doctoral education.
