Information about the scholarship
Doctoral scholarships are initially granted for one year and may be extended for two more years. As a rule, the doctorate is supported for three years. Funding beyond three years is only possible for up to one year in exceptional cases such as illness or childcare.
We offer workshops, training courses and seminars on current scientific and competence-oriented areas such as academic writing, presenting academic results, career planning or project management through our extensive non-material support.
We accompany our doctoral students throughout their doctoral studies and support you both academically through our liaison lecturers and personally through our employees.
The scholarships are awarded according to the guidelines of the Federal Foreign Office.
