Step 1: Data collection for prospective doctoral candidates (DOC 501)

Background: Since the amendment of the law concerning higher education statistics by the German Bundestag (Federal Parliament) in 2016, all state institutions of higher education are obliged to collect and process specific data about doctoral candidates. For this reason, the prospective doctoral candidate's data must be collected before he/she can apply for admission as a doctoral candidate. This data collection (DOC 501) is necessary in order to be able to fulfil the matriculation obligation in the Service Center Study, to which you are obliged after you are admitted as a doctoral candidate.

Information for employees: For data protection reasons, certain personal data such as birthplace or postal address of employees are not imported automatically to HISinOne from the personnel management systems. For this reason, employees are automatically requested to complete the personal data necessary for the administration of the doctoral procedure before data collection.

Please follow these steps:

Log into HISinOne.

Click on the tab 'Studies offered' and choose 'Doctorate'.

Choose 'Request of data collection for prospective doctoral candidates (DOC 501)' and fill in the form.

Do not forget to save!

Please upload the relevant documents by opening the application again (pencil icon).
