Where the institution does not award doctorates independently this record describes only credible cooperative doctoral research routes and makes clear that formal admission is to a doctoral-awarding partner.

Direct online applications are welcomed. Formal access, motivation, language preparation and personal fit are evaluated; published graduate deadlines distinguish EU and non-EU applicants. Applicants should check the current program page for exact intake, language of instruction, academic entry requirements, selection process and document route before applying. International certificates may require certified translations, proof of equivalency, APS documentation for relevant countries or other language proof. Master’s committees may require module descriptions, credit details, professional experience, a portfolio, a motivation statement or an interview. Entry to a doctoral program differs from entry to a bachelor’s or master’s program and depends on a suitable topic, supervision, funding and formal acceptance by the university awarding the degree.

From winter 2025/26, the university will charge a standard monthly tuition fee of €550 for EU students and €750 for non-EU students, in addition to enrolment and semester fees. Tuition fees usually do not cover housing, food, health insurance, residence formalities, optional travel and project costs. Applicants will be subject to the live fee schedule and signed study contract. Funding is available through BAföG for qualifying students, the Deutschlandstipendium (where applicable), DAAD or Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, corporate sponsorship, education funds, or paid research and student-assistant work; each award is considered independently of admission.

Career preparation is akin to international business, civil society, politics, culture, communication, sustainability and transformation networks and is not a guarantyd placement service. Students develop their employability through real company projects, an internship semester, study abroad, interdisciplinary seminars, student initiatives, and partner-university mobility. Alumni and professional networks can offer mentoring, insight and contacts in the sector, but applications and career choices are down to the student. This institution is especially relevant for applicants looking for small international class sizes, English-taught and bilingual studies, experiential projects, critical reflection and personal development, as long as your previous education, language evidence, study format and financing match the current program conditions.
