The Doctoral Programme in Governance is an international structured doctoral training programme. It is aimed at outstanding master's students from the social sciences and related disciplines. Today, several dozen PhD researchers study the conditions, structures and dynamics of governance in the Hertie School's doctoral programme. Every year, the Hertie School awards eight PhD scholarships to incoming PhD researchers.
