Doctoral Program in Economics

The Doctoral Program in Economics at the University of Hohenheim meets the high international standards of a qualified and structured doctoral programme. The expertise of eleven economics chairs opens up the perspective of diverse and interdisciplinary research and enables a variety of joint offers such as research seminars. The extensive range of courses for doctoral students forms the professional basis for high-quality training in quantitative and analytical methods.

The diverse and progressive faculty of professors is characterised by its openness to unusual research questions and support for new research approaches in supervising doctoral students. An important component of the doctoral college is the promotion of networking among the doctoral students through continuous professional exchange, e.g. with guest lecturers in personal office hours or reading groups, as well as the organisation of special PhD events that promote informal exchange in addition to the professional content, e.g. work workshops, excursions, PhD breakfasts.
