Events How (and Why) to Become a Doctoral Candidate – Reception and Information Session for Master's Students

If you are approaching the end of your master’s studies and are considering pursuing a doctorate at Heidelberg University, this event is for you. New doctoral researchers generally begin their PhD with many questions about registering and enrolling, funding their doctoral studies and much more. The Graduate Academy would like to provide you with the information necessary especially for your first steps toward a doctorate.

At our event “How (and why) to become a doctoral researcher” we will inform you about our own services as well as about other helpful contacts within the university. You will have the opportunity to meet the Graduate Academy team, to ask questions and to get to know other master’s students interested in pursuing a PhD.

The information sessions for Master's students take place every summer at the Neue Universität (Altstadt) and the Neuenheimer Feld. The next session will take place on July 1, 2026 at 4:15 pm (c.t.) at the Campus Im Neuenheimer Feld (Mathematikon, Hörsaal).
