It is possible to pursue a doctoral degree at all eleven faculties of the University of Freiburg. In addition to the „classical“ form of individual doctoral studies, the university offers a large selection of structured doctoral programs in various areas.
Here you can find details about the doctoral degree regulations, faculty contacts, and further information.
Step by step instructions for registration/acceptance as doctoral candidate
Step 1: Supervision approval
First, you must receive confirmation for supervision by a person authorized for doctoral supervision (see § 5 Absatz 3 der Rahmenpromotionsordnung [RPO]).
Step 2: Conclusion of supervision agreement
Immediately after the supervision confirmation, a supervison agreement between you and your supervisor must be concluded. For this, please download the relevant template from your faculty´s homepage.
Step 3: Central registration
With the conclusion of the supervison agreement, you must register centrally as a prospective doctoral candidate. Information regarding the process can be found here.
Step 4: Acceptance as doctoral candidate by the faculty
The approval as a doctoral candidate should follow shortly after the conclusion of the supervision agreement. For this, please make an application for approval through the online system Docata within six weeks of the conclusion of the supervision agreement. After handing in the application together with the supporting documents, the doctoral examination board will decide on your application. The decision will be communicated in writing and, in the case of a rejection, justified (§ 7 Absatz 3 Satz 3 RPO).
Step 5: Enrollment/registration
After being accepted as a doctoral candidate by the faculty, you must enroll at the Service Center Studium (see § 38 Absatz 5, Satz 1, erster Halbsatz des Landeshochschulgesetzes [LHG]). Enrollment is compulsory for all doctoral candidates that were accepted as candidates at the University of Freiburg after March 30th 2018. Doctoral candidates whose main employer is the University of Freiburg (employment contract for at least half of a full-time position) can be exempt from compulsory enrollment according to § 38 Absatz 5 Satz 1, zweiter Halbsatz LHG. All doctoral candidates that have already been accepted as a doctoral candidate before March 30th 2018 are entitled to enrollment, but are not obligated to do so. Doctoral candidates that do not enroll must however register. Further information can be found here.
With the Landeshochschulgesetz 2014, measures for securing quality standards in the doctoral process were implemented. Among other things, the law in § 38 Absatz 5 Satz 4 LHG requires the central registration of doctoral candidates. The registration is to occur after the conclusion of the supervision agreement. Shortly after the conclusion of the supervision agreement, the doctoral candidate must be accepted by the according faculty as a doctoral candidate. The supervision agreement is concluded immediately after the supervision confirmation.
The Hochschulrechtsweiterentwicklungsgesetz from March 13th 2018 requires a compulsory enrollment for all doctoral candidates (§ 38 Abs. 5 Satz 1 LHG) who (1) have been accepted by their faculty after March 30th 2018 and (2) do not have an employment contract at the University of Freiburg for at least half of a full-time position.
