A doctorate is one of the highest academic qualifications awarded by German universities. Doctoral candidates undertake in-depth research on a specific topic and then present their findings in a doctoral dissertation and an oral examination.
?
A doctorate is composed of a written contribution to the chosen field of research (doctoral dissertation) and an oral examination. The dissertation is supervised by a doctoral supervisor (Doktormutter or Doktorvater), who must be sought out by the doctoral candidate. In some faculties, doctoral supervision is supplemented by a graduate programme.
?
Graduates of a German or foreign university with an above-average master’s, magister, German Diplom, or state examination (e.g., for law or secondary school education), as well as graduates of a university of applied sciences with an above-average master’s degree are eligible to undertake a doctorate. Graduates of shorter state examination degree programmes (education for primary, middle, and secondary schools (Realschule) with a standard study period of 7 semesters) are required by the doctoral committee to provide additional evidence of academic achievement for admission to a doctorate.
?
Successful completion of the medical examination (?rztlichen Prüfung) is sufficient to obtain the degree of Dr. med. Further regulations governing admission to a doctorate can be found in the general doctoral regulations ( Allgemeinen Promotionsordnung) and in the doctoral regulations of the individual faculties ( Promotionsordnungen der einzelnen Fakult?ten).
?
The general doctoral regulations ( Allgemeinen Promotionsordnung) outline the conditions that must be met in order to obtain a doctorate.

Professors within each faculty are the first points of contact if you are interested in undertaking a doctorate in a particular discipline. If you would like general advice, please contact the general doctoral advisory service.
