Doctoral Service

Are you a full-time lecturer and researcher or research assistant at the University of Applied Sciences Campus Vienna and thinking about a doctorate?

University of Applied Sciences Campus Vienna offers support in the initiation and processing of doctoral/PhD studies in cooperation with other universities. Our first doctoral cooperation is currently being established with the Vienna University of Technology, and more are planned for the future.

Currently, the doctoral service primarily supports employees in their initial preparation for supervision of their dissertation project, which is carried out by University of Applied Sciences Campus Vienna in cooperation with another university. Since March 2016, University of Applied Sciences Campus Vienna employees have also been able to apply for the previously established research exemption as part of the initial funding for more intensive work on their own dissertation.

We can support doctoral projects by alumni and interested third parties who are not our employees if they are carried out as part of an ongoing research project at University of Applied Sciences Campus Vienna. You can find research project vacancies at hcw.ac.at/karriere 

A prerequisite for admission to the doctoral program is a relevant diploma/master’s degree. When you contact us for the first time, it would be helpful to include a brief description of your intended research project. Depending on your research topic, the doctoral service can refer you to appropriate researchers at the University of Applied Sciences Campus Vienna.

On the homepage or in our publications database, you can search for employed scientists at the University of Applied Sciences Campus Vienna and their main research areas for potential supervision of your dissertation project.
