Post-Graduate Studies
The requirements for enrolment as a PhD student are listed in Universität Hamburg’s School of Earth Science’s PhD regulations.
PhD studies consist of:
- the doctoral thesis, i.e. an independently researched academic discourse which meets the standards of academia and increases and contributes to knowledge, and
- a public defense in the major of geography. Based on the successful completion of post-graduate studies, the student will acquire the degree “Doctor of Natural Sciences” (Doctor rerum naturalium, Dr.rer.nat. for short).
Some PhD students form an open, self-gouverning network with monthly meetings.
Interested candidates are hearty welcome.
