Registration in Docata
You only need to register in Docata to apply for admission to the doctorate. The following individuals therefore do not need to register:
- Doctoral candidates who have already been admitted to a doctoral program and are enrolled in a doctoral program
- Reviewers and members of examination committees
How do I register?
Go to Docata and select Registration -> agree to the consent form.
If you already have an active UHH user ID (also known as a STiNE ID or B-Kennung) from the University of Hamburg, select IDM Account and log in with your UHH user ID. If this is not the case, please register as a user with one of your personal email addresses via Docata Account.
With a UHH user ID
If you already have an active UHH user ID (also known as a STiNE ID or B-Kennung) from the University of Hamburg, visit Docata, select Registration -> agree to Declaration of Consent, and choose IDM Account. You will log in there using your UHH user ID.
After registration, you will receive an email with a confirmation link. The link expires after 12 hours. Therefore, please check your UHH email address immediately after completing registration.
Without UHH user ID
If you do not yet have an active UHH user ID (also known as a STiNE ID or B Kennung) from the University of Hamburg, visit Docata, select Registration -> agree to Declaration of Consent, then choose Docata Account and register as a user using one of your personal email addresses.
After registration, you will receive an email with a link to set your password. The link expires after 12 hours. Therefore, check your emails immediately after completing the registration. Then click on the link in the email and set a password. Depending on your browser settings, you should close and reopen the browser or use the 'Refresh' function. Afterwards, you can log in.
Your login will be changed to your UHH user ID at a later date after you have enrolled in STiNE. We will notify you separately about this in due course.
