WelcomeWelcome to this site!
This site provides information on how to enroll as a PhD student at the University of Hamburg. The information given in the site will be based on the current application and admission practices of the University. The site will also have useful links to other web-pages where one could get even more information.
When people start thinking of doing a PhD study, there is always a need for information. Some of the most frequent questions that arise are: What should I do first? Where do I get information? How and where do I apply? What documents do I need?
It is especially hard if one is a foreign student and is trying to start a PhD study at the University of Hamburg. The major problem is the language. Given most foreigners who come to Hamburg to study have a relatively good knowledge of German, it is still difficult to get the necessary information, because of the lack of knowledge about the German education system.
The aim of this website is, therefore, to ease the above mentioned difficulties by providing information about how to start a doctoral study at the University of Hamburg.
The information given in this website is helpful for people who are currently:
abroad (European Union (EU) or non-EU citizens) and would like to conduct a PhD study at the University of Hamburg
in Hamburg and/or regular students of the University of Hamburg and intend to start a PhD study in the University.
You can, and hopefully will, leave your comment about the site. This will enable us to establish some communication and sharing some more experiences that perhaps could be of use for other visitors of the site.

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.
