Is a doctorate possible with a Master's degree?

Doctoral support is structurally anchored in our programme. Prof. Dr Katrin Liel and Prof. Dr Matthias Laub are doctoral advisors at the Faculty of Social Work and are happy to help you achieve this goal.

We offer individual counselling and support for those interested in doing a doctorate and doctoral candidates, e.g. during consultation hours, information events or during the annual DGSA Doctoral Colloquium SüdOst.
