German Version: Antragstellung auf Annahme als Doktorand/in - Schritt für Schritt

General note: You can find more information on the GraCe homepage, e.g. about how to act when you are interested in pursuing a doctorate or how to register as a doctoral candidate at the University of Freiburg.

If you have any questions about technical issues, our Campus Management Department will gladly assist you. Please contact us via our e-mail address cmp@rz.uni-freiburg.de.

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 takes place in the form of doctoral application (DOC502).

Please follow these steps:

• Log into HISinOne.
• Make sure that you are in the roll 'Studieren', 'Mitarbeiter/in' or 'Bewerben'.
• Click „Service“→„Requests“.
  
• Under certain circumstances, a page will first appear on which your personal data stored in HISinOne will be displayed. Please check that all mandatory fields* are filled in and complete any missing data.
• Choose „Doctorate (DOC502)“ and complete the form. You can find a detailed instructions here.
• Don't forget to click save!

Helpful Information for filling in the form: The list of subjects to enter your previous studies is only available in German. Please click here for a list of translations: faecherschluessel_englisch.pdf. If you still cannot find the subject you studied before, choose the most similar one.

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.

After completing your application for admission as a doctoral candidate, you need to print it, sign it, and submit it to the doctoral examination committee of your faculty, together with all other required documents. Please carry out the following steps:

• Log in to HISinOne. Please only use the URL https://campus.uni-freiburg.de/, otherwise the print view of the doctoral application will not work.
• Make sure that you are in the role „Studieren“, „Mitarbeiter/in“ or „Bewerber“.
• The portlet „doctoral project“ appears on the start page. Open the print view and print the document
• Please sign the GERMAN printout and send it together with the attachments listed on the printout to the address given at the top of the printout. The ENGLISH version of the printout is just for your information. The document you hand in has to be in GERMAN (legally binding). To change the language of the printout, just change the language of HISinOne (top right).
