About the siteThis website was first developed by Miguel A. Buitrago (who was a PhD student and SPAS, “Leistungsstipendienprogramm für ausländische Studierende”, scholarship holder) in 2006 to provide information on how to become a doctoral student at the University of Hamburg, Germany, based on his own experience.
The information is written in English to allow as many people as possible to take advantage of it, with the assumption that most foreign students speak English.
The need to update the website arose from the fact that the admission and registration process of the University of Hamburg has been changed. For instance, now the application form has to be filled online although there is still a need to submit the printed version. In addition, the responsible people and their offices, addresses and office hours have also been changed. The website has therefore been updated in 2011 by PhD students (of the University of Hamburg) and PIASTA's scholarship holders. More about PIASTA: www.uni-hamburg.de/piasta

I will be describing the process of beginning, working through and eventually finishing a doctoral dissertation in Hamburg University. Everything I write here will be based on my own experience, having already started writing a doctoral dissertation in this university. It is based on the hope that my experience could be useful on illustrating the process and thus could provide some guidence to other people. Like I say in the title, it will be in English, because I think this language is the one instrument to reach the most people. It is for sure the most widely spoken, and chances are that many foreign students speak English already. I can also provide more info in German and Spanish.
Each post will describe one topic and could be easily found by the title. The site will also have useful links to other places where one could get even more info. However, since the objective is to enter to study in the University of Hamburg, some of those places will be in German. Hopefully, with a combination of German and English, the information will be more accessible and easily understandable.
You can, and hopefully will, leave comments on each section. This will enable us to establish some communication and sharing some more experiences that perhaps could be of use for other visitors.
You can contact me either by leaving a comment on the website or by writing to miguelabuitrago(at)gmail.com. My name is Miguel A. Buitrago and you can find my profile on the scholarship recipient page on SPAS.
