titleCan you only pursue a doctorate in the subject area of your Master's degree?

In principle, it is also possible to pursue a doctorate outside the subject area of your Master's degree. Requirements include appropriate academic supervision and an exposé that clearly demonstrates the connection between the applicant’s previous academic background and the planned research project. Depending on the disciplinary proximity of the degree to the intended doctoral field, the Doctoral Committee may impose additional requirements on a case-by-case basis.

title Can the primary or secondary supervisor lose their membership in the Doctoral Association during the doctoral period, for example because they no longer meet the admission requirements in a given year?

Approved doctoral projects can generally continue to be supervised by the original supervisor until completion. If a supervisor leaves the Doctoral Centre, the associated rights and obligations remain in place for doctoral procedures that have already been initiated. If the supervision cannot be continued for important reasons, the Doctoral Committee shall appoint a new supervisor after consulting the doctoral candidate.

titleWhat requirements apply to primary, secondary and external supervisors?

For a doctorate within the Baden-Württemberg Doctoral Association, the primary supervisor must be a member of the Doctoral Association. The secondary supervisor may come from the same or another university or institution, provided that the person concerned has the right to supervise doctoral candidates. Retired professors may also be appointed as secondary supervisors under certain conditions.

titleCan you already work with a professor who is still undergoing the admission process?

titleCan an expert without the right to supervise doctoral candidates be involved in the supervision?

Yes, this is possible, but the person does not have official status as a supervisor.

titleIs a secondary supervisor always required?

A secondary supervisor is generally not required. However, secondary supervision can contribute to the academic support of the doctoral project and may also be added after admission as a doctoral candidate. The secondary supervisor should have relevant expertise in the research area and be entitled to supervise doctoral candidates.

Further information can be found in the FAQ of the Baden-Württemberg Doctoral Association.
