For professionals with a Bachelor’s degree

A PhD even with a Bachelor’s degree? There is a way.

Many believe that a PhD is out of the question without a Master’s degree. That is not true. With the right approach and your professional experience as a foundation, a PhD is also achievable for Bachelor’s graduates. Part-time whilst working, recognised, with full personal contribution.

The most common concerns

What holds Bachelor’s graduates back.

Access
“Is that even possible without a Master’s degree?”

Often yes, via a suitable, recognised route. In the initial consultation, we’ll clarify your specific situation.

Experience
“Does my professional experience count?”

Very much so. Relevant experience is a real advantage on the part-time route.

Cost
“Is this route worth it?”

We’ll be honest about what’s required and whether it’s right for you – no empty promises.

Recognition
“Will the qualification be recognised in my country?”

The awarding university is listed in anabin, the Kultusministerkonferenz database, with the status H+. The relevant authority in your country decides on recognition. We’ll tell you which one that is during our initial consultation.

The difference

Honest advice, a properly earned doctorate.

We do not promise a degree ‘without any requirements’. Together with you, we will find a realistic, recognised path, and you will carry out the academic work yourself.

An individual, recognised path rather than a shortcut.
Professional experience is taken into account; it is your head start.
100 per cent your own work, no ghostwriting.

Why this works

The four pillars of academic integrity.

100% authorship & original work

Every result relevant to your assessment stems from your own academic work. No ghostwriting, no outsourcing.

Faculty-specific tailoring

Doctoral regulations, admission requirements and the supervision environment form the decisive framework.

Methodological expertise

Optional mentoring on research logic, methodology, structure, argumentation and presentation suitable for examination.

Good academic practice

Guided by the established principles of the awarding universities: including the DFG, swissuniversities and ÖAWI.

How it works

From a Bachelor’s to a PhD, step by step.

The Bachelor’s pathway begins with an honest assessment of your current position. This is followed by the standard phases, organised in modules, with an optional bridging stage if necessary.

Assess

Review your degree, experience and goals: what is realistically achievable?

Path & Admission

Determine a suitable, recognised pathway (including a bridging step if necessary).

Support

Research and writing with methodology, feedback and a timetable. Your performance.

Final examination

Prepare thoroughly for the defence, right through to the award of the degree.
