Application deadlines and admission to doctoral studies

You can apply for a doctoral programme at any time. Please contact the relevant doctoral committee to enrol on a doctoral programme. In order to enrol on a doctoral programme, you need to be admitted to doctoral studies. If this is not available at the time of enrolment, you can be enrolled for a limited period of one semester on the recommendation of the doctoral committee. In this case, you must provide proof of admission to doctoral studies by the end of the first semester. After this period has expired, you can only continue your enrolment after providing proof of admission to the doctorate.
