Doctorate in Germany

Why do a doctorate?

Each year sees around 25,000 postgraduates gain a doctorate in Germany. They all believe that the effort of crowning their studies with a doctoral cap is certainly worth their while.

Statistics and labour market forecasts prove them right. The demand for highly-qualified, internationally-trained young academics and scientists is growing all the time. And not only in Germany, but all around the world as well.

No matter whether Dr. or PhD – those who complete their doctorate quickly and with an above-average grade and who have, at the same time, learnt how to move on the international stage can look forward to outstanding career opportunities at universities, research institutes and in industry – and not only in Germany.
