At the Hertie School, PhD candidates undertake doctoral research in the social sciences in an international and multidisciplinary setting. To find answers to today’s social, political, legal, and economic challenges, our doctoral researchers work with distinguished scholars.
Rigorous academic training, close supervision and institutional support, and the opportunity to develop professional skills prepare our PhD researchers for leading academic and research careers in academic and non-academic institutions.
The Hertie School is part of a vibrant research hub in the heart of Berlin and closely cooperates with leading doctoral programmes in Europe through the EU-funded CIVICA project.
