The Hertie School collaborates with the Berlin School of Economics, a joint programme with Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Freie Universität Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, the European School of Management and Technology (ESMT), WZB Berlin Social Science Center and DIW Berlin (the German Institute for Economic Research). It provides a structured career development programme for junior economists.

The Berlin School of Economics PhD Program unites the successful Berlin Doctoral Program in Economics and Management Science (BDPEMS) and German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) Graduate Center programmes and incorporates the best of both in a single career development programme.

The Berlin School of Economics offers four tracks: PhD in Economics and three business tracks (PhD in Accounting, PhD in Finance and PhD in Management).

PhD candidates of Berlin School of Economics who have a Hertie School faculty member as their first supervisor are usually matriculated at the Hertie School, and receive their degree from the Hertie School.

Applications are currently closed. Information on the next open call will be updated in the fall.
