Doing a doctorate at the Faculty of Humanities

Dear doctoral candidates and prospective doctoral candidates!


Do you wish to do a doctorate but don't know how to register? Or are you already in the doctoral process and have a specific question about the examinations? We have compiled all the important information about doing a doctorate at the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Göttingen on these pages.

On the page The path to a doctorate, for example, you will find a clear overview of the entire process - from acceptance as a doctoral candidate to the award of the doctoral certificate. Further pages deal with detailed questions about doctoral studies.

With over 60 disciplines, the Faculty of Humanities offers a wide range of different research areas. These can be pursued as part of a structured doctoral course or programme, but also in the form of a non-structured individual doctorate.

If you have any questions, please contact the member of the examination office handling doctoral matters.

We would be delighted to welcome you as a doctoral candidate at the Faculty of Humanities and wish all those already enrolled a successful completion of their doctorate!
