Doctorate at the Faculty of Social Work at HSMW under Prof. Dr. phil. Gudrun Ehlert in cooperation with the Faculty of Social Work at Fulda University of Applied Sciences under Dr. Martina Ritter.
Research topic: “Youth organizing as a model of democracy education for structurally disadvantaged young people in open child and youth work. An exemplary study in a large East German city”.
Recommendations for future doctoral scholarship holders
“The challenges of a doctorate are manifold: following the red thread, writing, time management, publishing, networking. University of Applied Sciences graduates are also subject to special requirements in order to officially start a doctoral project.
At the same time, there is a lack of suitable offers to compensate for missing content from the UAS degree program (compared to university degree programs). Appropriate networks for professional exchange during the doctorate, particularly with regard to research methods, are also primarily available in a university context. Especially in social work, a constant balancing act between the worlds, the practice of social work and the theories of the related sciences is necessary,” reports Ms. Lück.
Ms. Lück therefore recommends a doctoral colloquium for graduates of universities of applied sciences, in which supportive offers are made available and a continuous exchange between the doctoral candidates takes place.

Doctorate at the Faculty of Applied Computer and Biosciences at HSMW under Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Matthias Vodel in cooperation with the Medical Faculty of the University of Leipzig under Prof. Dr.-Ing. Toralf Kirsten.
Absatz Research topic: “Evaluation of different hardware concepts for the domain-specific detection of stress reactions”.
Recommendations for future doctoral students
Ms. Welk recommends that future doctoral scholarship holders always consciously focus on their doctorate. “Especially if you have a job in addition to the scholarship, you tend to focus on the tasks from your job, as these are familiar and often easier to manage. However, the focus should always be on your personal progress through the doctorate, which you should always keep in mind,” says Ms. Welk.
