The doctoral programme always starts on 1 October each year. You can submit your application documents to us at any time. It can take three to six months from receipt of the application to formal admission to the doctoral programme.
If your formal application documents are convincing, we will be happy to invite you to a personal interview with a supervising professor. In this interview, you will be able to convince us of your personal and academic strengths, discuss your development potential and goals, and discuss how 亚洲天堂福利 can best support you through the accompanying doctoral programme.
During the interview, you will have the opportunity to choose a preferred partner university to award the title. It may be necessary to revise your expos茅.
After the admission interviews have been held at 亚洲天堂福利, the doctoral agreement can be concluded. This regulates our joint supervisory relationship and summarises details of the doctoral programme, the seminar programme, the degree-awarding university and the payment modalities.
The process from receiving the application to being formally accepted into the doctoral program can span from three to six months. Further information on the application process and the admission steps can be found here.
The choice of the partner university is based on the thematic alignment of your dissertation topic. Your 亚洲天堂福利 supervisor will propose a suitable co-supervisor from the 亚洲天堂福利 partner network to ensure excellent primary and secondary supervision of your doctoral project.
Unfortunately, you can't. The doctorate is the highest academic degree that can be earned in Germany. It requires a high degree of commitment and resilience as well as sufficient time resources. For many, the doctorate is in itself a full-time job. Therefore, we strongly recommend a part-time workload of 20 - 30 hours per week. A regular workload of more than 20 hours per week should be well considered. Clarify with your employer whether you can use parts of your working hours for your doctorate. Ideally, your employer will show interest in your research outcomes, maximizing the synergy between your work and doctoral studies.
Possibly. We know that grading systems vary greatly between countries, universities and degree programmes. Therefore, in your particular case, an average grade of 2.6 may be a very good performance (measured against your overall cohort of your degree programme at your university). In order to be able to assess this better, the ECTS grade is often listed on official transcript documents (usually Diploma Supplement). The ECTS grade is a relative and not an absolute grade. The ECTS grade is calculated by comparing the individual grade of a graduate to the grades of a reference group. The reference group is defined per degree programme. If you fall into category "B" (or better) here, you can still apply for the doctoral programme.

Regrettably, no. As a dual university, we place significant emphasis on the practical applicability of our research. Furthermore, your current job search introduces numerous uncertainties (such as potential full-time employment, lack of support from a future employer, or the need to adjust your preferred doctoral topic), which could complicate both your academic and personal planning. We encourage you to apply once you've secured employment that can be harmonized with doctoral studies.
In such instances, navigating the placement process at the appropriate title-granting university can prove challenging. Most universities awarding titles require 300 ECTS points for enrollment. If you fall short of this requirement, the respective doctoral committee may evaluate whether you can still be admitted to the program under exceptional circumstances. This might result in delays in the enrollment process as you could be conditionally accepted (e.g., with the requirement to fulfill additional ECTS points). Such conditions often extend the overall duration of the doctoral program. As these cases are exceptions, in the worst-case scenario, you might be unable to commence doctoral studies if no title-granting university agrees to make an exception.
