Academic degree
The doctoral degrees Dr. rer. nat. and Dr. rer. pol. will be awarded by the enrolling University according to its standard rules, after acceptance of the doctoral thesis and a successful defense. This university will usually be the University of Hamburg. The students have the choice of doing their doctoral exam either at a German university or at their home university.
