Identifying a topic for your doctoral project

A doctorate begins with a fascination for a particular field of research and the search for a suitable working group or university.

Have you already found your working group?

In Hamburg, nine universities—including Universität Hamburg with its eight faculties—and several other non-university research institutions carry out research on a vast range of topics. Speak with researchers and potential supervisors about the possibility of pursuing a doctorate in their research group! The search for doctoral funding is the next step—where necessary, with the support of your future supervisor.
