Studying for a doctorate and habilitation (senior post-doctoral qualifications) at the Faculty of Psychology
Are you interested in a doctorate or senior post-doctoral qualification in Psychology? The School of Science awards the academic degrees, on the basis of completing a doctorate, of Dr. rer. nat. (Doctor rerum naturalium) or a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) for the Technische Universität Dresden.
The German postdoctoral qualification known as habilitation proves the particular qualification for research and for independent academic teaching in a special field. The habilitation awards the venia legendi (teaching permission) and allows to have the addition "habil." to the doctor's degree.
The faculty has also established criteria for achievements that are to be regarded as equivalent to a habilitation.
