The goal of doctoral studies is to obtain a doctoral degree. Doctoral studies are usually based on individual research work in close cooperation with an academic supervisor.

The core of the doctorate is the dissertation ("doctoral thesis"). After the dissertation has been accepted, a disputation, i.e. an oral examination, takes place.

A doctoral program usually takes three to four years.
