International Doctoral Programme – Environment Water (ENWAT)
University of Stuttgart
Program Overview
ENWAT (Environment Water) is facilitated by the Civil and Environmental Engineering Sciences Department at the University of Stuttgart. It is an international doctoral programme in the field of Environment Water (ENWAT) and hosts, at present, roughly 50 doctoral candidates. At the moment, five different institutions within the faculty participate in the programme. The course content is very broad and the specific subject of the dissertation depends on the institute. For research subjects, please see our website: http://www.enwat.uni-stuttgart.de The ENWAT programme itself aims to prepare you thoroughly, as a doctoral candidate, for your dissertation research through classes and workshops taught by faculty or guest lecturers. Participation in a seminar where research progress is discussed with all ENWAT doctoral researchers and supervisors is mandatory and takes place twice a year. Additionally, recruiting a co-adviser as well as the preparation of a research proposal and framework should be undertaken at an early stage within the programme.

EURSalary Outlook
Salary Outlook
Typical range
The stated annual salary (e.g., TV-L E13: €50,000–€65,000 for 100%) refers to a full-time position. In practice, many universities and public research institutes (such as Leibniz institutes) offer part-time contracts, commonly 50%, 65%, or 75%, and only occasionally 100%. The actual salary is therefore proportional to the contract percentage. Applicants are strongly advised to clarify the employment percentage before accepting an offer.
Fresher, mid-level, and experienced ranges are linked to external sources so they stay auditable for applicants.
