Online applications for PhD programmes
Applications for PhD programmes can be made throughout the year on the university’s application portal.
For help with applications, see “Help with applications and enrolment”.
Important information: If you graduated from a higher education institution abroad and don’t have German citizenship, you will need to contact Paderborn University’s International Office to apply.
Please note: Paderborn University teaching staff/employees wishing to study on a PhD programme will also need to submit an application. You will need a separate applicant account for this. Please contact our support team: bewerbung(at)uni-paderborn(dot)de
