What doctoral and master's candidates say about EIM.
“Participating in the EIM programme has been a significant enrichment for me, both professionally and personally. During my doctoral work I particularly value the high academic quality and the individual one-to-one supervision, which enables targeted and structured academic development.”
“I work as a physiotherapist and osteopath in Austria and am writing my dissertation at EIM. The professors and supervisors operate at a very high academic level without losing sight of the human side. Supervision is intensive, clearly structured and very comprehensive. The weekly assignments make it genuinely possible to write a dissertation alongside a full-time job in a relatively short time, without compromising on academic standards.”
“EIM provides a highly stimulating academic environment that combines rigorous research standards with a strong practice-oriented and international perspective. Supervision is professional, accessible and genuinely supportive. What sets EIM apart is its flexibility and understanding of doctoral candidates with a professional background — I can pursue high-quality research while benefiting from a collaborative, intellectually engaging community.”
