Starting a Doctorate

Are you a prospective doctoral researcher but unsure how to get started?
The Hamburg Research Academy offers initial guidance: through information sessions, workshops, and individual consultations, you will learn how doctoral studies are structured, what requirements to expect, and how to identify suitable supervisors and funding opportunities.

In addition, we will connect you with the relevant offices at Hamburg’s universities and, through networking formats, provide you with a first gateway into the academic community.
