Finding supervisor and topic
Finding a supervisor and getting in contact
The first step to a doctorate is to find a supervisor for your project. Potential supervisors at Leuphana University of Lüneburg are professors who are experts in their field, and who research and teach on the Masters programmes at Leuphana University of Lüneburg. Your thesis topic must correspond to the research profile of your potential supervisor, and you are responsible for initial contact.
The professors are attached to the schools and institutes at Leuphana. You can access the professors' pages by searching for "People" on the school websites. These pages generally list the professors' current research and publications, and will give you an idea of whether they are researching in a relevant field for your proposed topic. You can also contact the student counselling service at the Graduate School with any questions.
In addition, several Leuphana professors have flagged their research topics and contact preferences on the website Doctoral Topics.
You would like to do your doctorate while working and are wondering how often you need to be in Lüneburg? Please clarify this question with the advised supervisor!
