Dear Aloo,

If you are interested in Germany, There’s more than one way to get your doctoral title in Germany. Depending on the subject, research proposal and type of university, there are several possible paths to a PhD, the most common of which are individual doctoral studies and structured PhD programmes. The majority of doctoral candidates in Germany pursue PhDs through individual doctoral study, yet structured PhD programmes are becoming increasingly common.

For more information about individual doctoral studies and how to find a supervisor please visit our website “Research in Germany": www.research-in-germany.org/phd-individual

You can search also for different countries.

Regards

Dr. Anand Dev Gupta
