From the updated JMC websites at least it looks pretty good for a place like Goethe.
This.
Also JW strong - PhD completed in 4 years with three pubs among which one is REStat and one JPubE plus one r&r at JME. That's quite impressive, not only by German standards. And no, I'm not JW.
Well, JW came to Goethe with Oxford masters and all the (right) connections. and he did the traditional doctorate, so no coursework stage as in PhD program, so 4 years is rather normal. But yes, he is the star this year.
