PhD Programmes at University for UAS Graduates

The successful completion of a master degree programme or diploma programme at a university of applied sciences (degree programmes within the meaning of the FHG) entitles UAS graduates to enrol in a subject-relevant PhD programme at a university.

The completion of a master-level continuing education programme (continuing higher education programme pursuant to § 9 FHG) does not entitle the degree holder to enrol in a PhD programme.

The concrete eligible degree programmes are laid down in decrees issued by the Federal Minister of Education, Science and Research. For details, refer to:

Federal Law Gazette II 2017/218
Federal Law Gazette II 2019/105
Federal Law Gazette II 2021/553
