Awards

Scientific work in the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences at TU Dortmund University is supported and rewarded with numerous prizes and awards. Outstanding achievements in the Bachelor's and Master's phases are awarded just as much as excellent final theses or special doctoral projects.

The funding for these prizes comes from private donations from our professors, foundations and industry.
