All important info for international students in germany (2024/2025).
Understanding and interpreting how food relates to life is an essential study field for the future. Nutritional science is concerned with precisely that: how nutrients can impact the maintenance, growth, reproduction, and health of an organism. Students of this subject will be taught the basic subjects of biology and chemistry, but with a strong focus on functional and applied knowledge to health, while also attending to biochemistry and genetics. Students can even specialize in subjects such as special food chemistry, nutritional physiology, food law, and nutritional medicine. This creates many possibilities regarding future career paths for those interested in this area.

Find your PhD position in Germany
Before you start your search ....
Before you start your search you should know that there are different PhD models:
- Individual doctorate or
- Structured PhD programmes
What's the difference? Check out our overview of the various ways to do your PhD in Germany
Find your individual doctorate
The "traditional" or "individual" path to a PhD remains the most common in Germany. An individual doctorate involves a thesis or dissertation that is produced under the supervision of one professor . This form of PhD study offers a great deal of flexibility , but demands a high degree of personal initiative and responsibility.
How to find your PhD supervisor
In Germany there is no central admissions or selection office for doctoral students. Therefore, your first step is to find a suitable professor who is willing to be your supervisor.
One way to find a supervisor is to look for a university institute that matches your area of research. The following online search engines might help you find a suitable supervisor:
- GERiT – German research institutions GERiT is a website containing information on approximately 29,000 research institutions in Germany. GERiT allows the user to search easily by location or subject. It provides all the information needed to choose an institution at which to research, study or do a doctorate. www.gerit.org
- Finding a PhD position PhDGermany publishes PhD openings in Germany that specifically target international applicants. Accordingly, in most cases the working language is English. Fluent knowledge of German is only required for certain special positions. PhDGermany helps you find the right PhD opening or supervisor for your doctoral thesis and assists you with the online application process. www.phdgermany.de
- Higher Education Compass This database provides up-to-date information from universities about doctoral opportunities in Germany. The search engine enables you to carry out targeted searches on the basis of departments, admission requirements and form of doctoral thesis. www.higher-education-compass.de
Furthermore, your contacts with your professors or previous university could help direct you to a suitable department or potential supervisor in Germany.
It is also helpful to attend academic conferences in your own subject area. There you will be able to exchange information and make contacts – and perhaps even find a future PhD supervisor.
Find your structured PhD programme
DAAD/Ausserhofer/Himsel
Structured PhD programmes in Germany are frequently very similar to the PhD programmes in English-speaking countries, in which a team of supervisors look after a group of doctoral students . Around 12,000 doctoral students from abroad – roughly one in four – do their PhDs in structured programmes. As a rule, it is possible to complete a doctorate in four to five years.
Where to find your PhD programme
There is no central database of all structured PhD programmes in Germany. You can usually find these programmes directly through the respective universities, graduate schools or non-university research institutions. The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) database is also a good place to look. Here you will find a large number of PhD programmes that are specially aimed at international doctoral students.
International doctoral programme database
Are you interested in an international doctoral programme in Germany? This DAAD database presents a selection of roughly 230 international doctoral programmes in Germany. The database can be searched according to different criteria. www.daad.de/international-programmes
Doctoral programmes at universities
Many universities offer structured doctoral programmes, which they publicise on their websites. The Student Advisory Service or Graduate Centre at the respective university will also provide help here. You can find the relevant addresses using the Higher Education Compass provided by the German Rectors’ Conference. www.higher-education-compass.de
DFG-funded research training groups
Research training groups are also funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation, DFG) for a period of up to nine years. Their key emphasis is on the qualification of doctoral researchers within the framework of a focused research programme and a structured training strategy. www.dfg.de > Current Research Training Groups
Helmholtz Research Schools, Colleges and Graduate Schools
The Helmholtz Association is Germany’s largest scientific organisation. In collaboration with various institutions of higher education, Helmholtz Association research centres have established structured PhD programmes under the auspices of Helmholtz Graduate Schools, Helmholtz Research Schools and Colleges. www.helmholtz.de > PhD Candidates
Leibniz Graduate Schools
The Leibniz Association connects 97 research institutes that conduct problem-oriented research and provide scientific infrastructure of national and international importance. Together with universities they run structured PhD programmes in Leibniz Graduate Schools. www.leibniz-association.eu > Leibniz Graduate Schools
International Max Planck Research Schools
The Max Planck Society specialises in innovative basic research and its institutes are able to offer up-and-coming researchers excellent infrastructure and support. The website lists the programmes available at International Max Planck Research Schools (IMPRS): www.mpg.de > International Max Planck Research Schools
Max Planck Schools
In Germany, the best researchers in a specific field are often work at different universities and non-university research institutions spread throughout the country. The Max Planck Schools serve as hubs which gather this distributed knowledge. Here, the brightest minds in their fields have come together from within the scientific community to interconnect in faculties made up of active researchers. Students gain access to these unique networks, learn in close personal exchange from leaders in their fields and their peers, and enjoy access to outstanding infrastructure. Currently, three Schools are operating in the fields of Cognition, Matter to Life, and Photonics. www.maxplanckschools.de
Where can I find out about requirements?
Application procedures differ from programme to programme . The precise requirements and deadlines can be found on the website of the respective university, research training group or graduate school. You should therefore first choose a PhD programme and/or graduate school.
You've found the position you want to apply for, but how does applying to a potential supervisor or structured PhD programme work in Germany? Find out more here.

Cooperating Partners - PhD Global Health
The structured PhD Global Health is a joint doctoral program hosted at the Charité. It brings together the outstanding expertise in Global Health of the following seven cooperating partners (in alphabetical order):
- Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin
- Freie Universität Berlin (FU)
- Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU)
- Robert Koch-Institut (RKI)
- Technische Universität Berlin (TU)

PhD candidates are enrolled at the Charité. The degree awarded upon completion of the three year program is PhD in Global Health. The program requires participants to complete 30 ECTS of coursework divided over the 6 semesters and work on a research project (equivalent to 150 ECTS / 5 Semesters) that will result in publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals (doctorate by publication). The program concludes with an oral defense.
The thematic focus of the doctoral program is based on the health-relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The topics we wish to address include communicable and non-communicable diseases, the prevention and control of disease outbreaks, global health security, migration and health, universal health coverage, the role of climate and the environment as determinants of health, One Health, governance and health policy, health economics, community engagement as well as digitalization in healthcare. The doctoral program approaches research topics from an interdisciplinary perspective and incorporates a variety of methodological and conceptual approaches. Through the close exchange between teachers, supervisors and doctoral students, we support the critical examination of institutional and political constellations in the field of global health.
Modes of Study
The PhD Global Health seeks to develop expertise around the globe. We hope to provide prospective students with modes of participation that match their needs and their lifestyles, regardless of where they are from. You can chose to relocate to Berlin for the program or you can stay in your home country and travel to Berlin to participate in coursework and for temporary research stays.
Sandwich PhD
- The sandwich PhD allows you to conduct research in your home country under the co-supervision of researchers from the Cooperating Partners and your home institution.
- Sandwich doctorates limit the time spent in Berlin to research stays of 3 months or less while completing coursework.
- This path requires you to secure funding for travel to and from Berlin but is often more convenient for non-EU candidates as it reduces overall costs and eases visa requirements.
Berlin-based PhD
- The Berlin-based PhD allows you to live in Berlin and expects you to travel for field research, research exchanges or conferences. This path is often more convenient for EU candidates.

Research Trainee Spotlight: Pari Mokhtari, PhD, RD
How does what we eat impact our health? That question has long fascinated Pari Mokhtari, PhD, RD. Her journey to find the answers has taken her across the globe—and to CHLA.
After completing her undergraduate studies in food science in her home country of Iran, Dr. Mokhtari traveled to Malaysia to earn a master’s in nutrition. In 2015, she came to the U.S., where she became a registered dietitian and earned her PhD in nutrition and integrative physiology.
Now a Postdoctoral Fellow in the lab of Michael Goran, PhD , at CHLA, her research focuses on how early-life nutrition shapes the gut microbiome and impacts a child’s future health trajectory. She also recently began working on the Multiethnic Cohort (MEC) study, where she is investigating the relationship between the microbiome and cancer in diverse ethnic and racial groups.
“My goal is to be at the forefront of research in the microbiome and nutrition,” Dr. Mokhtari shares. “Through research, I aim to develop nutritional strategies that can prevent disease and improve quality of life.”
In her free time, she enjoys scenic trails and pursuing another food-related passion: cooking. “My kitchen is a lab of another sort, where I love experimenting with recipes,” she shares. “I also enjoy cultivating my garden and hunting for the perfect plants that can thrive in its shady corners.”

How Much Cherry Should You Eat? Nutrition Pros Share Their Insights, Benefits, And More
Perspective from livia dickson chen, phd in nutrition · 11 years of experience · brazil.
- Cherry consumption helps protect against chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and obesity . Substances such as anthocyanins, quercetin and rutin present in the cherry protect the blood vessel wall, preventing the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. These substances have an anti-inflammatory, antihistamine role. Cherry also contains chlorogenic acid that helps regulate blood sugar and insulin levels, preventing spikes or drops in blood glucose.
- Cherry is important in fighting arthritis and gout . The bioactive compounds present in this fruit have potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which reduces oxidative stress and joint inflammation , preventing or lessening the symptoms of arthritis or osteoarthritis such as pain or stiffness in the joints. The vitamin C present in cherry has an antioxidant action leading to an increase in the elimination of uric acid in the urine, being also useful for those who have gout .
Quantity Recommendation
- Consumption of natural cherry or juice forms is widely recommended for its numerous health benefits. Cherry can be consumed raw as a dessert for main meals or in snacks, and can also be used in salads, smoothies, jam, desserts, cakes or tea. The recommended daily serving is about 20 cherries, the equivalent of a glass of this fruit. Daily consumption of cherry juice reduces inflammation , pain and the risk of chronic disease. But remember that this consumption must be the whole fruit, with the peel.

- Cherries are low in calories and chock full of fiber, vitamins, nutrients and other good-for-you ingredients. They also provide antioxidants like beta-carotene and the essential nutrient choline. You will get vitamins C, A and K. Each long-stemmed fruit delivers potassium, magnesium and calcium too.
- Eating either sweet or tart cherries may help you get more and better sleep. Studies suggest that this effect of cherries happens within days. But you need to eat a lot cherries. 25 sweet or about 100 tart cherries a day.
