Doctorate

If you would like to do a doctorate at RPTU, the doctorate is usually done as a so-called individual doctorate. Some departments also offer a structured doctoral program.

Please contact the department of your choice for information on any structured programs offered or, if necessary, contact a potential supervisor.

For further information on international PhD programs (in Kaiserslautern), please contact the ISGS.
