Doctorate/Phd studies at the Faculty of Sociology
The Faculty of Sociology offers various doctorate/Phd studies programmes. As a cooperative graduate school for sociology and history, the Bielefeld Graduate School in History and Sociology (Bielefeld Graduate School in History and Sociology) offers a structured and diverse doctoral programme. There is also the option of doctorate/Phd studies without a degree programme. Instead of a study programme, an annual presentation in the context of a thematically relevant colloquium or doctoral seminar and a six-monthly consultation with the first supervisor on the basis of a work report are required. The international doctoral programme and the doctorate/Phd studies without a study programme are regulated by the doctoral regulations and the study regulations of 1 June 2015.
