Career
Doctorate
Following a successful Master's degree with a major in finance or business informatics, you have the opportunity to continue your academic career as part of a doctorate at the chair. If you would like information about this opportunity or already have a specific interest, feel free to contact Prof. Dr. Jan Muntermann during your Master's degree.

Prerequisites
- Above-average successful completion of a Master's degree with a major in finance or business informatics
- Knowledge of quantitative methods and experience in data analysis
- Solid English skills

Conditions
If available, we will inform you about current or future job advertisements for a research assistant. Alternatively, we can assist you in applying for a doctoral scholarship.
?
Please understand that we do not support doctorates alongside employment (so-called "external" doctorates) as experience has shown that they cannot be completed promptly and to the satisfaction of all parties involved.
Letter of Recommendation
If you need a recommendation or reference letter, or an academic assessment for an application for a study place or a scholarship, we will gladly review your request. There is no entitlement to a letter of recommendation. We only issue such letters if they are expressly required in the specific application process.
?
Formal Requirements
- Overall grade average of 2.2 or better
- Successful completion of at least two modules of the chair with a grade of 2.0 or better
Please understand that if these requirements are not met, we must refrain from providing a letter of recommendation, as a recommendation is only helpful if it is sufficiently positive.
