Doctorate

Promoting young academics is one of the most important tasks of all professors at the school. A business or economics Doctorate opens up excellent career prospects in academia as well as in business and politics. Our aim is to support our doctoral students during their doctoral studies in developing promising research projects and in generating successful publications from these projects, and to help them becoming independent, critical thinkers and problem solvers who are able to analyze complex issues and develop innovative solutions.

The School of Business Administration and Economics at Osnabrück University awards the degree of Ph, Dr. rer. pol.. With a Doctorate you demonstrate your ability to carry out in-depth independent academic work.

If you are interested in a doctorate at the school, please contact the  Dean's Office with administrative questions. You will need a supervisor for your doctorate, which is usually a business, economics or information systems professor from the school.  The University has a  Center for Doctoral Candidates which provides you useful information about various aspects of becoming and being a doctoral student at Osnabrück University. If, during your Doctorate, you are in conflict with your supervisor, please contact  Prof. i. R. Dr. rer. pol. Wulf Gaertner or contact the  Center for Doctoral Candidates.
