European Urban Studies (International Doctorate Programme)

From 2002 until 2020, the IPP for European Urban Studies was counted among the nationwide network of International PhD Programmes, which, within the framework of the programme "Doctorates at Universities in Germany (PHD)", were endorsed by the German Research Foundation and the German Academic Exchange Service. Supported in years 2002 to 2007, the IPP European Urban Studies was the only IPP in Germany that was dedicated to urban research. It dealt with topics that are tested against such current models as the "European City," "Compact City," "Social City," "Net City," or "Zwischenstadt". The International Doctorate Programme “European Urban Studies” was then focusing on research on Urban Housing and Forms of Living with a focus on (multidimensional) housing policy, in the context of current societal challenges – such as climate change, social fragmentation, spatial disparity, cultural differentiation, immigration and the transformation of the real estate economy – and what these challenges imply for the cities of Europe.

Please note: Until further notice, the program is closed. You can find out more about the individual doctoral opportunities in the field of "European Urban Studies" on this homepage .

Kompetenzzentrum Medienanthropologie (KOMA)

Period:  April 2015 bis September 2019

Das aus Mitteln der ProExzellenz-Initiative des Freistaates Thüringen finanzierte Kompetenzzentrum Medienanthropologie soll eine innovative und interdisziplinäre Medienanthropologie vorantreiben, die die Erforschung der Medialität, der Medienbedingtheit und Medienverfasstheit menschlicher Daseinsvollzüge ins Zentrum stellt. Dabei ist das Konzept der Anthropomedialität forschungsleitend. Anthropomedialität beschreibt mit der Verschränkung von Menschen und Medien ein eigenständiges Drittes, das jeder Unterscheidung von Mensch und Medium als deren Ursprung vorausgeht.

Im Rahmen des Forschungsprogramms wurden 10 StipendiatInnen bei der Arbeit an ihrer Promotion unterstützt. Die Arbeit des Kompetenzzentrums mündete erfolgreich in der Beantragung eines DFG-Graduiertenkollegs zum Thema Medienanthropologie , das im April 2020 gestartet ist.

Urban and Regional Research (German-Argentinian Doctorate Training Group)

Duration: 2013- 2020

The German-Argentinian Doctorate Training Group "Urban and Regional Research" is a cooperation between the Institute for European Urban Studies at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and the Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Design and the Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba /Argentinia.

The aim of this doctorate training group is to give a selective group of young researchers the opportunity and the academic support to achieve results in urban research that can enrich the academic debate in this field both in Europe and in Latin America. Doctorate students in the program receive bi-national academic advising and take part in a structured study programme. Successful completion of the programme results in the awarding of the academic title of Dr. phil or Dr. Ing in combination with a doctor title from the partner university. This doctorate training group is the first of its kind at a Thuringian university and one of few in Germany. A stipend funded by the Deutsch-Argentinischen Hochschulzentrum covers travel and living costs for the academic year abroad.

Currently no applications are being accepted for this programme.

Doctoral degree studies

How to get a doctoral degree at Faculty 2: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Are you interested in a doctorate at our faculty? We are pleased about this and provide you with information about the process and the formal conditions under the doctoral regulations of 2019. In case you have been accepted under the Doctoral Degree Regulations of 2016, we provide an information leaflet .

General information on the doctoral procedure, the doctoral regulations of the University of Stuttgart, scholarships and funding opportunities, etc. can be found on the website of the Graduate Ccademy of the University of Stuttgart GRADUS . We recommend that you read this website first with five steps to your doctorate !

At our faculty there are currently two ways to obtain a doctorate:

• individual supervision by a supervisor of the faculty, or
• Integrated research training group " Interface-driven multi-field processes in porous media "
• Binational (D/New Zealand) research training group " Soft tissue robotics – simulation methods for the development of control and automation strategies of robots for the interaction with soft materials" (German)
• Simulation technology graduate school at the Centre for simulation sciences

Gaining your doctoral degree - faculty-specific regulations and supplements

Prerequisites for a doctorate.

Please inform yourself here, if you have

• obtained a degree of a foreign university (see subsequent section 1.), or
• studied a subject that does not correspond to one of our study program (see subsequent section 2.)

1. Acceptance with a foreign degree

You apply to GRADUS for acceptance as a doctoral researcher (see also the chapter below), including a request for stating the formal equivalence of your degree. GRADUS first checks the formal equivalence which requires additional time (approx. one to two weeks). Then GRADUS forwards your application documents to the faculty office. The Doctoral Committee will then accept your application under the precondition that you need to prove your knowledge corresponds to the one of our graduates. For this you might need to take additional courses. In any case, your supervisor has to submit a request to the Doctoral Committee for recognition of the equivalence of your university degree with regards to the content of your studies to one of our study programmes, possibly including a suggestion on the measures which you need to take.

2. Acceptance if subject of study does not correspond to study program of the faculty

You apply to GRADUS for acceptance as a doctoral researcher (see also the chapter below). GRADUS forwards your application documents to the faculty office. The Doctoral Committee will then accept your application under the precondition that with the provison that you proof knowledge equivelent to our graduates. In this case, the supervisor has to submit a request for recognition of knowledge to the Doctoral Committee including a suggestion on the measures which you might need to take (e.g. passing a certain course).

Application and fulfillment of the qualification program

Learn more about how to register, apply for and enrol for a doctorate:

Individual qualification programme

For the application for acceptance as a doctoral researcher ("Antrag auf Annahme als Doktorandin/Doktorand") you have to agree on your doctoral studies with your supervisor using the form agreement on doctoral studies . This contains your individual qualification programme. Please refer to the faculty's catalogue when determining the measures. Especially for courses on key qualifications (e.g. management competences) you can use the offers by GRADUS .

Doctoral committee

The doctoral committee will decide on your application for acceptance. As a rule, it meets before the grand faculty council (one meeting each in January, April, May, June, October, November, December). There are no meetings during the semester breaks. In urgent cases (i.e. for Visa or scholarship applications) the acceptance can be organised during the semester breaks with a circulation procedure.

Cumulative Dissertation

In principle, a cumulative dissertation is possible at Faculty 2. The faculty has decided on a guideline (in revision) [DE] for this and provides an additional handout [DE].

Preparation and submission of the dissertation

Please use the faculty template for the title page of the dissertation without the date of the oral examination. You submit x copies of your dissertation in paper form (bound) and one electronic version (PDF file) to the faculty office (x = number of rapporteurs + 1). These copies should be printed double-sided and bound. Both the pdf and the copies should contain a CV. In the hard copy also the doctoral researcher’s signed statement that he/she has completed the dissertation independently needs to be enclosed.This also represents the application for admission to the doctoral examination.

Please note the following resolutions of the doctoral committee of the Faculty 2:

• The dissertation should not contain more than 150 pages.
• Each dissertation must be accompanied by both a German and an English language summary with two to four pages each.
• If the dissertation is to be written in languages other than German or English, the doctoral committee will decide on this in each individual case.

The main supervisor writes to the doctoral committee including

• Confirmation that the dissertation is ready for acceptance
• Proposal for co-examiners (e.g. for the expert report on the dissertation)
• Confirmation of fulfilment of requirements (see prerequisites for a doctorate), if applicable

Irrespective of a participation in a structured doctoral programme, the final version of the agreement on doctoral studies (including the individual qualification programme) should be enclosed in the letter. For a discussion in the doctoral committee, the letter should arrive at the faculty office at least one week before the date of the doctoral committee meeting.

Appointment of co-examiners

At a meeting of the doctoral committee, the main supervisor presents the doctoral project. The doctoral committee admits the doctoral researcher to the examination and appoints an examination committee for this doctoral project (chair, supervisor and one or more co-examiners). The faculty office sends the dissertations to the co-examiners and organises the internal circulation procedure. These steps take several weeks to sometimes months.

Doctoral examination and publication of the dissertation

Presentation and oral doctoral examination.

After the internal circulation procedure, you can organise the date and time of your doctoral examination with the members of your examination board. You also need to book a room for the presentation and the subsequent examination. Please inform the faculty office about the date, time and place of your examination and the travel dates of your co-examiners. The presentation about the research topic immediately before the oral doctoral examination should last 30 to a maximum of 45 minutes.

Publication of the dissertation

You have to fulfill any changes suggested during the circulation procedure, the expert opinions, etc. by the time the dissertation goes to press. Within one year of the doctoral examination, you need to hand over a copy of your dissertation to your supervisor.

The supervisor will check the correctness of the dissertation and release the dissertation for printing. The University Library [DE] will inform you on its website about the formal requirements the dissertation has to meet, which publication options are available and how many copies you must submit.

After publication of the dissertation

The doctoral procedure is finished when the doctoral certificate is handed over to you by the faculty office. Now – no moment earlier – you can use the doctoral degree – congratulations!

The doctoral certificates (or a copy if you need them earlier) are also handed over once a year by the dean during the faculty graduation ceremony . This ceremony usually takes place in July.

You can apply to the doctoral committee for inspection of your doctoral file, including the expert opinions, in writing within one year. The doctoral committee will then determine the place and time for your inspection of your file.

• Review Admission Requirements

Program Overview

The Ph.D. in Civil Engineering prioritizes leadership, innovation, communication, and entrepreneurship in infrastructure. Environmental & Water Resources Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Structural & Materials Engineering, and Transportation Engineering are four sibling concentrations in the Civil Engineering Ph.D. program. The exclusive Ph.D. program aims to equip students with the skills necessary to thrive in diverse career landscapes. Notably, it will be the inaugural program in Texas to integrate the practical application of Civil Engineering principles with entrepreneurial acumen and expertise in technology-enhanced infrastructure (TEI). This forward-thinking initiative underscores the pressing need for infrastructure innovation and advances the university's commitment to fostering cutting-edge research and development in the field.

Course Work

The Ph.D. program requires a minimum of 54 semester credit hours (SCH) for students entering with the qualifications of a master’s degree in Civil Engineering or a related area. An additional 24 SCH of master’s level courses are required for students entering with the qualifications of a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or a related area. In addition to the 15 SCHs of required and prescribed elective courses, a student should take 15 SCHs of general elective courses. The culminating research activity is a dissertation of 24 SCHs. Students admitted with a bachelor's degree must take 54 SCHs of the above 7000-level courses plus 24 SCHs of 5000-level courses.

What Our Current Students Say

“I am delighted to be continuing my academic journey at Texas State University's newest Ph.D. program in Civil Engineering. Earning my Master's degree right here has given me a solid base in innovative research on concrete materials. Outstanding instructors and cutting-edge research facilities have prepared me, and I am excited to build on my knowledge while contributing effectively to this field through this innovative curriculum.”

Program Details

The Ph.D. program aims to foster the development of independent intellectual leaders by offering rigorous coursework and novel research opportunities in CE and TEI abilities. The program will train and cultivate interests and skills in adopting and applying innovative technologies for CE problems while retaining the main functions of a traditional CE program in that it tackles the same set of CE problems as other peer programs. In addition, the Ph.D. program emphasizes promoting students’ applied skills, research capabilities, commercialization initiatives, and communication and leadership skills.

Program Mission

The Ph.D. in Civil Engineering program prioritizes research, innovation, leadership, teamwork, communication, commercialization, and entrepreneurship in technology-enhanced infrastructure (TEI). The educational objectives of this program are designed to equip program graduates with:

• applied technical knowledge in corresponding areas of CE
• skills for conducting cutting-edge research in TEI that advances the state-of-the-art in CE
• leadership, innovation, communication, and entrepreneurial skills that prepare students to take on challenges in multi-disciplinary and diverse teams of academic and industrial organizations  

Career Options

Although students will be competitive for academic and research positions with the rigorous and intensive training in research and coursework preparation from the Ph.D. program, emphases on leadership, innovation, communication, and entrepreneurship in infrastructure will also prepare students for taking leadership roles in start-ups, established industries, governments, and other non-academic sectors.
