PhD Programme

By establishing a PhD programme, the IFSH has created a solid foundation on which it can continue to provide the intensive support it has always offered young researchers.

Students on the programme are supervised by experienced IFSH researchers. This ensures that they can complete their dissertation while attaining key qualifications for careers in areas related to the work of the IFSH – both in academia and elsewhere. Most doctoral students are affiliated to the University of Hamburg, but this is not a condition for participation in the PhD programme.
