Pursuing a doctoral degree provides you with an excellent opportunity to thoroughly engage with TEFL research and further your professional competencies. If you are interested in completing a PhD project in Englische Fachdidaktik / TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) at the University of Bamberg, please consider the university regulations / Promotionsordnung(439.9 KB); you may also contact Theresa Summer and take part in the TEFL research seminar.
