Overview
The higher education system in Germany comprises research-oriented universities, universities of technology and universities of applied sciences. The latter are more practice-oriented and have close links to businesses. According to German law, only universities and technical universities have been allowed to award doctoral degrees so far. At University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, however, there are quite a number of international and German doctoral students working on their doctorates. In these cases, the departments and research focuses work together with a German or foreign university. The doctoral students conduct research at the university under the joint supervision of a professor from the university and the partner university, which ultimately awards the doctorate.
The University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg cooperates with the Doctoral College NRW, which was established by the sponsoring universities on the basis of a public-law administrative agreement on 14 December 2020 as a public-law corporation based in Bochum. The aim of the Doctoral College NRW, which is anchored in the Higher Education Act of 2019, is to create the conditions for doctorates at universities of applied sciences in cooperation with the sponsoring universities.
