Doctorate Studies

The doctoral program is designed to validate your capability for independent scientific research. The process is governed by both the Faculty for Process and Systems Engineering's specific doctoral guidelines and the Higher Education Act of the State of Saxony-Anhalt. These regulations outline the criteria for earning academic degrees such as 'Dr.-Ing.' (Doctor of Engineering) or 'Dr. rer. nat.' (Doctor of Natural Sciences).

On this page, you will find at-a-glance guidelines, tips, and contact persons to guide you through the successful application, undertaking, and completion of your doctoral program at the Faculty for Process and Systems Engineering.
