| Oct 10, 2023 at 22:43 | comment | added | Jochen Glueck | But admittedly, the marketing team of TU Munich did a great job in making it appear as if they had some kind of "graduate program" to which you have to "apply", similarly to how things work in, say, the US. But when reading the details one sees that there is no "application" process to become a PhD student at all, but that things work the same way as everywhere in Germany. (But this kind of marketing stunt seems to be a specialty of TU Munich; they do something similar for their Bachelor's degree in math.) | |
| Oct 10, 2023 at 22:31 | comment | added | Jochen Glueck | Applying the concept of "top universities" across different European countries is rather misleading, as the following sentence nicely demonstrates: "apply to very competitive universities for PhD, such as [...] TUM". That's not how things work in Germany; to do a PhD at TU Munich you need to find an advisor there and you need to find funding. For both points it's mostly irrelevant how "competitive" (whatever this means) the university is. It completely depends on the individual professor there with whom you'd like to do your PhD. | |

| Oct 10, 2023 at 8:28 | comment | added | lighthouse keeper | @user438383 OP asked specifically about Europe, which has a different culture in this respect than, say, the US. For example, recommendation letters may play a much smaller role. | |
| Oct 10, 2023 at 8:27 | comment | added | user438383 | Does this answer your question? Will one 'C' grade due to health issues ruin my chances of admission into a top grad school? | |
