Doctorate and Habilitation

The opportunity to earn a doctoral degree at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich is open to anyone with the appropriate qualifications. UniBwM has excellent connections to national and international research networks and cooperates with many renowned industry partners. Doctorates can thus be earned in both basic research and in fields more closely related to industry.

Requirements

A degree such as a Diplom, master’s degree or an equivalent qualification with an overall grade of at least 2.5 or “good” is required to apply for a doctoral program at UniBwM. For a doctorate in law (“Dr. jur.”), the first or second state examination must have been passed with at least a “satisfactory” grade.

Graduates with an above-average master’s degree from a university of applied sciences may also apply for a doctoral program at our university.
