Do you plan to pursue a doctorate at the University of Freiburg? Would you like to get support for your decision-making process? Do you want to inform yourself about the general requirements for a doctorate? Are you already a doctoral researcher and have transdisciplinary questions, such as the following:

- acceptance as a doctoral candidate at the faculty,
- enrollment and registration,
- networking, status and options to participate in decision-making processes?

Even if your specific topic is not included: Send us an email or call us to raise your questions and to arrange a personal appointment (see contact). The conversations are confidential and free of charge.

If you have any questions related to the [doctoral degree regulations](https://www.jsl.uni-freiburg.de/promotionsordnungen), please [contact your faculty](https://uni-freiburg.de/frs-en/grace/doctoral-studies-ufr/faculty-contacts/). Medical students should contact the [doctoral office of the Faculty of Medicine](https://uni-freiburg.de/med/akad-laufbahn/promotionen/).
