In Hamburg, DESY offers opportunities for master and doctoral theses in the following fields of research: particle physics, photon science, and accelerator physics and technology. DESY in Hamburg does not grant the degrees directly but collaborates with several universities, predominantly with the university of Hamburg. Candidates will have to comply with the universities' terms of admission for master and doctoral theses.
Particle physics

Contact CMS: Dr. Matthias Kasemann (Matthias.Kasemann@desy.de) Experimental particle physics with high-energy electron-positron collisions
Contact FLC: Dr. Ties Behnke (Ties.Behnke@desy.de) Experimental particle physics at Belle II
Contact BELLE II: Dr. Carsten Niebuhr (Carsten.Niebuhr@desy.de) ALPS: experiment searching for new, very light and weakly interacting particles
Contact ALPS: Dr. Axel Lindner (Axel.Lindner@desy.de) Particle physics theory: The theory group works in the fields of phenomenology of elementary particles, particle cosmology, string theory and mathematical physics.
