Admission

The VDTR stands for high quality supervision of its doctoral students, especially for interdisciplinary research in the fields of theology and religious studies. There are different types of doctoral students and they can all become members of the School. Religious or denominational affiliation is irrelevant for admission to the VDTR.

To become a member of the Vienna Doctoral School of Theology and Research on Religion, you must:

•  be enrolled in a doctoral program at the University of Vienna
• have the support of your supervisor, who must be a VDTR member, and
• agree to the Code of Good Practice for Doctoral Schools.

If, as a doctoral student, you have not yet given the Faculty Public Presentation (FÖP), you must obtain the support of your supervisor and send the completed and signed admission form and an outline of the doctoral project to contact.vdtr@univie.ac.at.

If you have already successfully completed the FÖP, you will need the support of your supervisor and send the completed and signed admission form to contact.vdtr@univie.ac.at.

After successful admission, you will be able to benefit from the services and support offered by the VDTR. We are looking forward to welcoming you!
