MSc/PhD/postdocs

Language Master, Erasmus and PhD students and postdocs are required to write their theses/reports in English.

All Incomers (BSc / F-Prak / MSc interns as well as PhDs & postdocs).

PhD students @HHU: Register yourself within 3 months of starting here: Anmeldeformular. The office for PhD registration, the “Promotionsbüro”, will then contact you with all relevant information. See registration website. 

You will be required to select a supervisor/ “Betreuer” and mentor (see below). You will have annual meetings with your supervisor and mentor, where you will discuss your project progress. These meetings need documentation via the provided forms. If you want to register as an iGRAD member, do not forget to choose the iGRAD version of the Supervision Agreement.  

• Betreuer/ supervisor: this will be Lena Daumann. 
• Mentor: this is a professor from HHU of your choice. There are possibilities to assign external mentors, though this needs further approval. Requirements for any external mentors are: professor/ habilitated leader of a research group, affiliated with a university or institute. The university tends to prefer in-house mentors. They are not meant to assist you with research but mediate conflicts with Lena, should they arise. 
• Secondary supervisor: an optional choice. This name will just appear on paper, there are no additional responsibilities to this task. 

All required documents and forms for the registration process and the follow-up meetings as well as the hand-in of the thesis (including the Promotionsordnung) can be found here.

Information on how to enrol as a doctoral researcher (= student status; gives access to HHU card, NRW Ticket, reduced mensa pricing, general student discounts) can be found here. Please note that you can only do this after you have written confirmation of your acceptance by the Promotionsbüro. 

For PhD applicants, doctoral researches and PostDocs, iGRAD is a support service and graduate school that provides services (workshops, career services, scholarship information and counselling). Lena is an official iGRAD supervisor, but participation in the iGRAD scheme is not mandatory. For more information on iGRAD, choose the respective header that applies for you.
