Find your PhD position in Germany

Before you start your search ....

Before you start your search you should know that there are different PhD models:

  • Individual doctorate  or
  • Structured PhD programmes

What's the difference? Check out our  overview of the various ways to do your PhD in Germany  

Find your individual doctorate

Two young researchers are sitting on a lab desk listening to a standing professor and taking notes. The professor holds a molecular model in his hands.

The "traditional" or "individual" path to a PhD remains the most common in Germany. An individual doctorate involves a thesis or dissertation that is produced under the  supervision of one professor . This form of PhD study offers a great deal of  flexibility , but demands a high degree of  personal initiative  and responsibility.

How to find your PhD supervisor

In Germany there is no central admissions or selection office for doctoral students. Therefore, your first step is to find a suitable professor who is willing to be your supervisor.

One way to find a supervisor is to look for a university institute that matches your area of research. The following online search engines might help you find a suitable supervisor:

  • GERiT – German research institutions GERiT is a website containing information on approximately 29,000 research institutions in Germany. GERiT allows the user to search easily by location or subject. It provides all the information needed to choose an institution at which to research, study or do a doctorate. www.gerit.org
  • Finding a PhD position PhDGermany publishes PhD openings in Germany that specifically target international applicants. Accordingly, in most cases the working language is English. Fluent knowledge of German is only required for certain special positions. PhDGermany helps you find the right PhD opening or supervisor for your doctoral thesis and assists you with the online application process. www.phdgermany.de
  • Higher Education Compass   This database provides up-to-date information from universities about doctoral opportunities in Germany. The search engine enables you to carry out targeted searches on the basis of departments, admission requirements and form of doctoral thesis. www.higher-education-compass.de

Furthermore,  your contacts with your professors or previous university  could help direct you to a suitable department or potential supervisor in Germany.

It is also helpful to attend  academic conferences  in your own subject area. There you will be able to exchange information and make contacts ­– and perhaps even find a future PhD supervisor.

Find your structured PhD programme

Students are sitting in a modern study hall on red chairs at grey desks.

DAAD/Ausserhofer/Himsel

Structured PhD programmes in Germany are frequently very similar to the PhD programmes in English-speaking countries, in which a  team of supervisors  look after a  group of doctoral students . Around 12,000 doctoral students from abroad – roughly one in four – do their PhDs in structured programmes. As a rule, it is possible to complete a doctorate in four to five years.

Where to find your PhD programme

There is no central database of all structured PhD programmes in Germany. You can usually find these programmes directly through the respective universities, graduate schools or non-university research institutions. The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) database is also a good place to look. Here you will find a large number of PhD programmes that are specially aimed at international doctoral students.

International doctoral programme database

Are you interested in an international doctoral programme in Germany? This DAAD database presents a selection of roughly 230 international doctoral programmes in Germany. The database can be searched according to different criteria.  www.daad.de/international-programmes 

Doctoral programmes at universities

Many universities offer structured doctoral programmes, which they publicise on their websites. The Student Advisory Service or Graduate Centre at the respective university will also provide help here. You can find the relevant addresses using the Higher Education Compass provided by the German Rectors’ Conference. www.higher-education-compass.de

​​​​​​​DFG-funded research training groups

Research training groups are also funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation, DFG) for a period of up to nine years. Their key emphasis is on the qualification of doctoral researchers within the framework of a focused research programme and a structured training strategy. www.dfg.de > Current Research Training Groups

Helmholtz Research Schools, Colleges and Graduate Schools

The Helmholtz Association is Germany’s largest scientific organisation. In collaboration with various institutions of higher education, Helmholtz Association research centres have established structured PhD programmes under the auspices of Helmholtz Graduate Schools, Helmholtz Research Schools and Colleges.  www.helmholtz.de > PhD Candidates 

Leibniz Graduate Schools

The Leibniz Association connects 97 research institutes that conduct problem-oriented research and provide scientific infrastructure of national and international importance. Together with universities they run structured PhD programmes in Leibniz Graduate Schools. www.leibniz-association.eu > Leibniz Graduate Schools

International Max Planck Research Schools

The Max Planck Society specialises in innovative basic research and its institutes are able to offer up-and-coming researchers excellent infrastructure and support. The website lists the programmes available at International Max Planck Research Schools (IMPRS):  www.mpg.de > International Max Planck Research Schools  

Max Planck Schools

In Germany, the best researchers in a specific field are often work at different universities and non-university research institutions spread throughout the country. The Max Planck Schools serve as hubs which gather this distributed knowledge. Here, the brightest minds in their fields have come together from within the scientific community to interconnect in faculties made up of active researchers. Students gain access to these unique networks, learn in close personal exchange from leaders in their fields and their peers, and enjoy access to outstanding infrastructure. Currently, three Schools are operating in the fields of Cognition, Matter to Life, and Photonics. www.maxplanckschools.de

Where can I find out about requirements?

Application procedures  differ from programme to programme . The precise requirements and deadlines can be found on the website of the respective university, research training group or graduate school. You should therefore first choose a PhD programme and/or graduate school.

You've found the position you want to apply for, but how does applying to a potential supervisor or structured PhD programme work in Germany? Find out more here.

University-funded doctoral researcher positions

There is one application period each year for University-funded doctoral researcher positions for all of the University's doctoral programmes.

In 2023, the Doctoral School granted €20 million for new salaried doctoral researcher roles, funding 118 four-year positions.

The next application period for salaried positions will be on 27.8.-9.9.2024.   

On this page, the whole application process will be explained step-by-step. 

Familiarise yourself first with the information found on this page. More detailed instructions will be available in June.

If you are unable to find an answer to a question in either these instructions, or those on the doctoral programme webpages, please check the Frequently asked questions below.

General questions regarding the application can be addressed to [email protected] .

If you would like to know more about different doctoral programmes, research plans or supervisors, please contact the doctoral programme directly. Contact details can be found from the webpages of each doctoral programme.

What is the difference between a University of Helsinki (UH) salaried position and post-graduate study rights?

  • A UH salaried position means that you receive a salary as an employment contract with the University for working on your doctoral thesis.  
  • Post-graduate study rights allow you to pursue a post-graduate doctoral degree at one of the UH faculties. Study rights do not include funding.

Can I apply for a salaried position from more than one doctoral programme?

  • You may apply for a UH-funded doctoral researcher position from a maximum of two doctoral programmes. If you have submitted more than two applications, the two most recently dated will be considered and reviewed.  
  • Please check the specific instructions from each doctoral programme and remember to submit a separate application for each one.  

I am a member of the Doctoral Programme in X of the University of Helsinki. Can I apply for a salaried position in the Doctoral Programme in Y?

  • You can apply for a salaried position from another doctoral programme. Please read the instructions on the website of your selected doctoral programme. 
  • Please note that you may apply for a UH-funded doctoral candidate position from a maximum of two doctoral programmes. 

I do not yet have the right to pursue a post-graduate doctoral degree at the University of Helsinki. Can I apply for this at the same time as I apply for a salaried position or can I apply after the application for salaried positions is closed?

  • Post-graduate study rights are applied in a different application call. The first possible call is in September.
  • Please read carefully the instructions regarding applying for the right to pursue a post-graduate doctoral degree . Please notice that different doctoral programmes have different application rounds. Check your doctoral programme's application rounds from its web pages.
  • Please note also that applying for the study right in other than September call may result in your employment beginning later than 1 January 2024.
  • According to the guidelines of the University of Helsinki, individuals recruited to salaried doctoral researcher positions must receive post-graduate study rights within the six-month trial period of the position.

I am not yet eligible to apply for right to pursue a post-graduate doctoral degree at the University of Helsinki. Can I apply for a salaried position?

  • In the case of certain doctoral programmes, salary applications are accepted from applicants who will graduate by a certain date (e.g., by the end of 2023).
  • If you are not eligible to apply in the autumn call, for instance if you have not yet completed all your degree studies by the call deadline, or you are unable to show the required language skills, you must apply for post-graduate study rights in the next application round of the doctoral programme. 

I am also applying for funding for my doctoral studies from elsewhere. Can I apply for a salaried position at the University of Helsinki?

  • If you are offered both a salary position and funding from another source, you may have to choose how to use the funding appropriately. 

I have secured funding for part of my doctoral studies. Can I apply for a salaried position at the University of Helsinki?

  • If you are offered a salary position, you must begin to use it within the calendar year 2024. You may not receive other working grants at the same time as a salaried position from the University of Helsinki.  

I do not yet have right to pursue a post-graduate doctoral degree at the University of Helsinki, and intend to apply for a salaried position. Which attachments do I have to submit?

  • You need to complete the application form and submit the required scanned copies of your education documentation, research plan, CV and the other attachments required by the doctoral programme. 
  • Please check the requirements on the website of your selected doctoral programme, as the required documents vary between doctoral programmes.

Can I submit the required attachments after the application call has closed?

  • All attachments must be submitted by the end of the application call.

I was awarded my degree by the University of Helsinki. Why do I have to enclose certificates with the application?

  • The educational documents of applicants are assessed by doctoral programmes and must be included as part of the application. 

I have a master’s degree. Do I have to enclose with my application or submit copies of my bachelor’s degree?

  • Not if you are applying based on your master's degree. 
  • If you wish for it to be evaluated in relation to your application, please submit copies of your degree. 

I applied for a salaried position last year. Do I need to resubmit all the required attachments this year?

  • All applications must include the required electronic attachments.

Where can I find the degree requirements to complete my study plan?

  • The degree requirements of doctoral programmes are available in the Instructions for Students under Scope and Structure of Doctoral Degrees

I have been offered a salaried position from more than one doctoral programme. What should I do?

  • You can accept the position which is best suited to you.
  • You should discuss the matter with your supervisor before making a decision.
  • Please note that you may need to change the doctoral programme and possibly reapply for study right if your faculty or target degree changes.
