The Center for Research and Cooperation (ZFK) provides some general tips on doing a doctorate at a university on its website. The following information is intended as a supplement for doctoral projects by students of the Department of Social and Health Sciences.

We have compiled basic and comprehensive information for those interested in doing a doctorate in social work(here or as a PDF). In addition, regular research colloquia are held jointly with the Mannheim University of Applied Sciences and the University of Frankfurt. If you have any questions or need advice, please contact the Department's doctoral advisor.

Doctoral projects in the fields of nursing education, nursing and midwifery can be opened at various faculties of education and health sciences at universities to which individual education staff in the Department are affiliated. The doctoral coordinator for the Nursing/Health Studies Department can arrange contacts on request.
