Doctorate
Application for cooperative doctoral studies
In principle, the master's degree, regardless of whether it was earned at a university or a university of applied sciences, qualifies the student for a doctorate. As a university of applied sciences, the Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences and Arts itself does not have the right to award doctorates. However, graduates with very good grades have the option of earning a doctorate at the Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences and Arts within the framework of a cooperative doctoral program. In this model, the doctoral candidate is jointly supervised by one professor each of the Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences and Arts and a cooperating university.
