Requirements for PhD Studies
The requirement for being accepted as a PhD student is usually a good to very good degree in the relevant subject that corresponds to a German academic degree.
It is possible to be admitted as a PhD student with a bachelor’s degree under certain conditions. You will find all information in the relevant PhD regulations.
The dissertation can usually be written in German or English. For PhD students with foreign citizenship this means that knowledge of German is not necessarily essential, although it is necessary for everyday life. The existence of sufficient knowledge of English will be checked by the respective supervisor. An official language certificate is not usually required.
If the dissertation is written in German, appropriate German skills must be proved in accordance with Section 7 Admission Regulations.
