  • Admission form
  • 1 copy of the supervision agreement (a sample of a modifiable supervision agreement can be found here)
  • A certified copy of the university degree qualifying for doctoral studies (usually a Master's degree, equivalence must be checked in advance for foreign degrees), original documents/certificates can be certified by the respective Dean's Office
  • Depending on the programme, further documents (statement of purpose, curriculum vitae, research plan, etc.)
