Doctoral students

Although HAW Hamburg is not entitled to award doctoral degrees, it supports the preparation and completion of doctoral degrees in cooperation with universities in Germany and abroad. Approximately 160 doctoral projects are currently underway at HAW Hamburg, and 180 have been successfully completed.

Alongside the subject-specific supervision of doctoral students by HAW Hamburg professors, the Graduate Centre is charged with fulfilling HAW Hamburg's institutional responsibility to ensure that doctoral work is carried out in accordance with the necessary standards. Our offers include an interdisciplinary programme of events and qualification measures for all doctoral students which is tailored to the various phases of doctoral studies. Additionally, the Graduate Centre team provides support to doctoral students on all non-subject-specific matters related to doctoral studies and coordinates international cooperation agreements with our partner universities.

If you are a new doctoral student at HAW Hamburg and would like to enrol, feel free to get in touch with us. We would like to get to know you, connect you with other doctoral students, and keep you informed via our newsletter about job postings, deadlines, and offers and events for doctoral students!

We are also available to assist you with the following:

  • Advising in preparation for or during your doctoral studies
