Application for doctoral programmes starts 1 April 2023
More than 200 new students are accepted into the 18 doctoral programmes of the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ every year. About 26 % of them come from abroad.
To be awarded a doctorate, the student admitted to a doctoral programme must complete the required studies, demonstrate independent and critical thinking in the field of research, write a doctoral dissertation, and defend it in public. At the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥, the extent of required studies varies between a minimum of 30 ECTS credits and a maximum of 60 ECTS credits depending on the programme. The scope of the dissertation is designed so that the doctoral degree can be completed within four years of full-time work.
