Individual Doctoral Research

If you want to do your doctorate without a structured doctoral programme - here you learn more about the requirements and challenges

Doctoral Programmes

There are several structured doctoral programmes in our four faculties

Probity in accordance with the principles of good scientific and artistic practice is an important prerequisite, not only for young scientists, artists and designers - recommendations, contact persons and links

Doctoral Publishing

The publication of one's own work is an important milestone for doctoral candidates. This page serves as an introduction to the topic and provides information about funding opportunities and contact persons.

Pro.Doc - Doctoral Council

Since 2021, the cross-faculty doctoral council has been advocating for the interests of all doctoral candidates - if you want to get actively involved too or need their advice, you can contact all the elected representatives.
