…..Consequently, the question if and to what
extent PhD programs could, and should
explicitly cope with the demand side of the
labor market remained open and unsettled.

We offer a program that is…
Challenging
We challenge students to complete their PhD in 3 years. We look for intrinsically motivated
students who will excel in our academic culture based on research freedom.
Interdisciplinary
Practical
At PACE, mathematicians talk to mechanical engingeers, and
physisists collaborate with software engineers. Students also
profit from an extensive academic network far beyond
Paderborn.
We have excellent partnerships with companies such as Daimler and Wincor Nixdorf. Through
projects with our industry partners, student research can provide solutions to real world
business problems.
International
Affordable
Our students come from all over the world. During our program
they can take advantage of soft skill training, intercultural activities,
company visits and German language classes.
Students receive financial aid in the form of a fellowship, and full reimbursement of travel costs.
We even refund the cost of the admission interview.
Supportive
We understand doctoral students need to focus on research. That is why we do not
require our students to teach. We also help structure their 3 years to ensure success.
And we take care time-consuming administration.

International Recruiting Strategy
Website
• Content and design geared to potential applicants
• Guides reader to the application procedure
Brochure
• Leads reader back to the internet presence
• Low content density
• Personal doctoral experience is highlighted
Advertising
Social
Networks
• Spread message of PhD programs and scholarships on international sites
• Lead potential candidates back to website and application
• Stay abreast of best practices in international higher education recruiting
• Extra networking and advertising of PhD programs
Online application procedure
• Online procedure
– Online FAQ, question form and standard
procedure allows for high volume
– Helps track advertising effectivity (where did
applicant hear about PACE)
• Recruitment procedure as in job interview:
– Personal interviews

ITpreneurship: Kooperative Gründungsoffensive
Hochschule –Wirtschaft im IT-Cluster Paderborn
• ITpreneurship supports start-ups in the IT sector in
cooperation with the regional IT industry
• ITpreneuship links companies, potential founders of a new
business and Paderborn University and creates synergies to
strengthen the regional IT-cluster
Aims:
• Conjoint finding of new business ideas and creation of a „pool
of ideas“
• Development of actions to bring together companies and
potential founders of a new business
• Advancement of the ideas to the formation of a cooperative
company

What our students say
“The opportunity for cooperation
with industry was the main reason
for me to do my PhD in Paderborn.
When you’re working for a
company, solving a concrete
business problem for them, you are
not just trying out an idea. Your
research has to be viable. It has to
lead to the solution of an actual
business issue. This is what really
made my research interesting.”
