Overview

Admission to a Doctoral Programme at a university is granted on the basis of the successful completion of a subject-relevant master programme, e.g. Medical Engineering. Contents and requirements of study are specified in curricula with the focus on the doctoral thesis (Dissertation) as the result of independent research.

Therefore, close cooperations between University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria and several universities are established. The doctoral thesis (Dissertation) typically is an essential part of a joint-research project. The degree programme at the university concludes with the approval of the dissertation and with a comprehensive doctoral examination (Rigorosum) or a defensio.
