PhD in Biology, Chemistry, Informatics, Earth Sciences, Mathematics, Physics

Dear prospective and new doctoral students,

Welcome to Universität Hamburg!

We want to help ensure that you are well-prepared for your doctoral student life at the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences (MIN). In the MIN-Gateway for doctoral candidates we have compiled some helpful services and information on the subjects "Prior to your doctoral stay in Hamburg", “New to Hamburg” with practical tips on living and doing a doctorate in Hamburg. Here you will find reasons for taking your doctorate at MIN Faculty of Universität Hamburg.

International mobility is an important part of the internationalization of doctoral education. Thus, we would like to encourage you to attend summer schools, conferences, workshops or go on a research trip. A well chosen destination for your research stay abroad gives you the chance to work in the best environments in the world, to network with key people in your research field, to learn new skills and ultimately, to challenge yourself as a person and as a researcher. 

Possibilites of international mobility funding are listed on the MIN-Gateway for doctoral candidates under "Financing/additional support".

In the name of MIN Faculty and its members, we wish you a good start at MIN Faculty, a most interesting doctoral stay at Universität Hamburg and every success in your doctoral studies.

Alles Gute!
All the best!
