Non-university research institutions
In Germany, in addition to universities and colleges, numerous non-university research institutions and universities of applied sciences also offer the opportunity to work on a doctoral project. Some of the non-university research institutions have established their own structured doctoral degree programmes in which doctoral students can become members.
