Doctoral / PhD Programs

Orientation for (future) doctoral students

At the beginning of each semester, an orientation is held by the academic director of doctoral studies. It is intended for doctoral students in their first semester and students thinking about enrolling in a doctoral program. As soon as the date for the winter semester 2012/13 is fixed, you will find further information here.

News:

The transition period for the old degree program structures (this concerns the doctoral program in Social and Economic Sciences of 2001, the doctoral program in Business Law of 2005 and the PhD program in Finance of 2005) has been extended. The old degree programs will be discontinued on September 30, 2017!
