Welcome to the world of doctoral studies at the Harz University of Applied Sciences!
A doctorate is an important milestone in your academic career. In order to prepare you in the best possible way for this demanding, multi-year research project, Carolin Haupt is your contact person for the promotion of young academics. She provides dedicated and personalised support for doctoral candidates - from initial orientation to successful defence.
The support programme for early career researchers at the Harz University of Applied Sciences offers personal, competent and targeted support for doctoral candidates, doctoral students and supervising professors. We advise you on organisational and interdisciplinary issues, provide information on funding opportunities and support you with individual challenges - including confidential one-to-one coaching sessions on request.
For your academic development, we provide you with an interdisciplinary qualification programme that is specifically tailored to the requirements of a doctorate. This will not only strengthen your academic competences, but also your interdisciplinary skills. The monthly newsletter of the Young Scientists Programme of the Universities of Applied Sciences (HAWs) in Saxony-Anhalt informs you about current qualification offers, events and funding opportunities.

In addition to academic and professional development, the Harz University of Applied Sciences fosters a vibrant research culture and encourages networking among doctoral candidates.

Collaborative projects with industry partners and other universities further enhance the practical relevance and impact of your research.

For prospective doctoral students, we offer a cooperative doctoral procedure in collaboration with a university. They work closely with a first supervising professor who works at a university or another university with the right to award doctorates. At the Harz University of Applied Sciences, they also have a second supervisor. They are bound by the doctoral regulations of the cooperating university, are subject to the decisions of the doctoral committee there and can enrol free of charge in the qualification programme for doctoral students at our university.
