CGA Stories

"I still remember the first few days in the lab when I was completely amazed by the world-class facilities and equipment. But as the real treasure of our institute is the scientists working here."

"Being a CGA Master fellow helps me to make a well-informed decision regarding my next career step and my application for doctoral studies."

" The main advantage of the buddy programme is that at the moment you arrive in Cologne, you immediately feel prepared and well supported to start both your research project as well as your new life in Cologne! "

" The extremely collaborative environment, especially with the coordinators of the graduate programme as well as the excellent infrastructure for families, convinced me to join the CGA. "

"I was able to save a lot of time since I knew I would be in the same lab for my Master and PhD."

" I saw a way I could help improve an already excellent programme."

" I achieved so much more than what I expected at the start of my Ph.D."

"Somehow I actually never really left Cologne."

"One of the main reasons I chose the CGA is the structure of the program. It is focused not only in improving your scientific skills and critical thinking, but also other soft skills that will make you competitive in the job market."
