General information

• PhD Program

The Berlin School of Economics PhD Program provides outstanding doctoral students with a vibrant, intensively networked research community. The program develops the students’ talents in a unique combination of a high-level, academic research environment together with applied, policy-oriented research opportunities. Students receive state-of-the-art coursework training and can select from a wide array of specializations. For each specialization, a professional research environment is provided by Berlin’s universities and economic research institutes.

Program structure and curriculum

All PhD tracks offered in the PhD Program share the same structure and general curriculum. The program’s curriculum is divided into a qualification and a dissertation phase:

Qualification Phase

During the qualification phase (about three semesters), students acquire methodological and research-oriented training in mandatory course work in economic theory, applied economics, business studies, econometrics, and economic policy. Students define their research area and find supervisory support from two supervisors. They write research proposals that are discussed with faculty members individually and in seminars in order to provide early feedback on the scientific potential of research ideas. This is a central part of the PhD Program, in which the students have full flexibility in the choice of their research topics and of the supervisors. During this phase, students are funded through stipends that allow for this flexibility. In total, students have to complete a  minimum of 90 ECTS credits  in order to finish the qualification phase of the program.

Dissertation Phase

During the subsequent dissertation phase (about three years), students write a doctoral thesis while having the opportunity to apply their knowledge in the professional research environment that is provided at the Berlin universities and research institutes participating in the Berlin School of Economics. In this phase, students are typically employed at their supervisor’s chair or in research groups at research institutes.

The PhD will be awarded by one of the institutions in the Berlin School of Economics with the right to award doctoral degrees. In most cases, the PhD is awarded by the institution the student’s first supervisor is affiliated with.

Doctoral Students

At Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin there are two different ways to obtain a PhD: Individual doctorates or structured PhD programs.

Individual Doctorate

Individual doctorates are the traditional and most common type of a PhD program in Germany. This way of doing a PhD provides a high degree of flexibility to shape the scientific topic and also the time frame. To pursue an individual doctorate at Humboldt-Universität, you need the individual support of a professor to act as your PhD supervisor (“doctor father” or “doctor mother”).

It will be your initiative and responsibility to look for a suitable supervisor directly. You can send your full application regarding your research interest to a matching professor. It is important that you select a supervisor with a similar research field/topic to your intended PhD study.  If the professor is interested he/she will answer your e-mail in due course.

Structured PhD programs

Structured PhD programs have a fixed duration, usually three years. The PhD candidates are supervised individually, and conduct research within a group of colleagues of their scientific field. Also there is a complementary curriculum aside the PhD program. Applications have to be submitted directly to the program.

Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin - Finance Group

Writing a doctoral dissertation in finance.

Students interested in the practical relevance of academic research in finance and who have a strong academic track record should consider writing a doctoral dissertation. The finance track of the Berlin School of Economics PhD Program ( https://bdpems.wiwi.hu-berlin.de/portal/ ) introduces students to research questions and methodologies that shape current research in financial economics, and prepares graduates for research careers in universities, central banks, and other research-oriented institutions.

Our PhD program consists of intensive course work in microeconomics, econometrics, and financial economics during the first year, and advanced specialization courses in finance in the second year. The core course in finance covers the main fields of financial economics, i.e., corporate finance, financial intermediation, and asset pricing. Elective courses from other fields in economics can also be chosen. Students must complete a minimum of 90 ECTS in order to finish the program. The typical study sequence in finance is as follows.

The finance faculty currently include Tim Adam, Max Bruche, Beatriz Mariano, Lukas Menkhoff, and Alex Stomper. We nurture a stimulating environment for research in finance. Our core strengths lie in the areas of corporate finance and financial intermediation, but we are also interested in research at the intersection of finance with other fields in economics (e.g. labor economics, international economics, or development) as well as outside economics (e.g. history, climate change.

We are conducting both empirical and theoretical research, and have access to many of the major databases in finance, such as EIKON, Compustat, Capital IQ, Bloomberg, and Morningstar. In addition, Prof. emeritus Richard Stehle has calculated the Fama-French factors for Germany since 1958. This data is available here . Funding for other financial data is available upon request.

Application  

If you would like to write a doctoral dissertation in finance you must first apply to the Berlin School of Economics (BSE) PhD Program ( https://bdpems.wiwi.hu-berlin.de/portal/content/application ). The application deadline is each year in February.

We do not supervise external dissertation projects. Every student wishing to write a dissertation in finance must first enroll and complete the BSE PhD Program.

PhD in physics

The PhD in natural sciences is not coordinated by a central application process, as is common in countries such as the USA or the UK, rather the professors of physics should be contacted, if you are interest in a PhD. You should therefore contact them directly, depending on your interests and subject area (with the exception of graduate schools funded by research agencies). The doctorate is usually financed by an emploayment position (usually advertised on the central TU Berlin page) or a scholarship, so that the availability of funds plays a major role in the number of available doctoral positions. Compared to other countries such as the USA or the UK, the courses that in these countries are taken as part of a PhD program are usually already part of our bachelor's and master's degrees program.

The physics student counselling does not provide advice on doctoral studies either; we are only responsible for the bachelor’s and master’s degree program in physics. Administratively, the doctoral program is managed by the School administration .

The Department of Law offers German and international graduates the opportunity to earn a doctoral degree in law.

In order to get admitted for doctoral studies, candidates need a 4 years' law degree or a law degree which is considered as equivalent to the German first legal State Examination. In addition to that, they must have passed their degree with a grade which is equivalent to the German "Vollbefriedigend / Fully Satisfactory". If that degree is from a country other than Germany, applicants will be required to take two courses in German private law, criminal law, and/or public law and to pass a written final examination in these subjects. The two courses in German private law, criminal law, and/or public law may be replaced by a German LL.M. degree with a grade of 2,5 or better.

In exceptional circumstances, an admission with a university degree other than law is possible, if the overall grade of that non-law degree equals the German grade "Vollbefriedigend / Fully Satisfactory". In addition, candidates with a non-legal background are required to pass two courses in German private law, two courses in German criminal law, and two courses in German public law and a paper in either private law, criminal law, or public law.

Furthermore, each candidate must show a written agreement of a professor of this Law Department that s/he is willing to supervise his/her dissertation. In order to obtain such an agreement, applicants are required to contact a professor with the same research interests. A few professors have published their individual requirements on their websites. In general, professors accept applications on a rolling basis with a letter of motivation, a CV, a project proposal, and a transcript and degree certificate.

All doctoral students at the Law Department are expected to submit their dissertations in German. Only in very exceptional circumstances, if the topic of the doctoral thesis requires the use of a foreign language, dissertations can be written in a language other than German.

Doctoral studies at the Law Department are free from tuition. PhD students only have to pay the regular student fees and contributions .
