Gain international experience

The doctorate is a time of intensive research and personal growth. In today's globalised world, researchers have more opportunities than ever to gain international experience. A research stay abroad during your doctorate can not only help to improve your academic work, but also deepen your understanding of other cultures and provide valuable professional contacts. This is just as advisable for an academic career as it is for a future career in business or administration.

Double doctorates

A double doctorate is carried out in cooperation with an international partner university. In order to obtain an international double doctorate degree, you generally have to spend at least 6 months researching at the partner university and publish the results of your work there together with the international research group, as well as fulfil the requirements there, such as participating in a special training programme. More information on double doctorates here.
