Prospective doctoral candidates

How can I do a doctorate at the THA?

Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg (THA) offers those interested in research with a master’s degree (for requirements, see Bavarian Higher Education Innovation Act (BayHIG) of August 5, 2022, Part 2, Chapter 6, Section 4, Art. 97, Para. 1, Sentence 2, 1) the opportunity to do a doctorate directly at THA or in cooperation with national and international partners. In most cases, the doctoral candidates are research assistants at the THA. However, so-called external doctorates (with funding not provided by the THA) are also possible.

Almost 40 young academics are currently working on their doctorates at or with the THA, conducting practical and application-oriented research on future-oriented issues. In addition to academic supervision by THA professors, the THA offers doctoral students a comprehensive range of services through its Graduate School, consisting of consulting, training and networking, which contributes to the success of their own academic qualification.
