#Deadline: 28 February 2017
#Details:
Applications for the DAAD Scholarships (period October 2017-September 2018) are being accepted now. These scholarships are open to German and international students for pursuing PhD programme. The primary goal of the school is to provide doctoral scholars with an outstanding, supportive environment for learning, research, and career development.
#Eligibility:
The following criteria must be met in order for applicants to be eligible for the scholarship:
1) University is looking for candidates with a non-German citizenship who are holding a Master’s degree or equivalent in Sociology, Political Sciences, Economics, Statistics, Demography, Empirical Educational Sciences or Psychology. Candidates should propose an original dissertation project fitting thematically into at least one of our four research pillars. The two main criteria are the candidate’s proven record of academic excellence on the one hand, and BAGSS’ ability to ensure competently, research-led supervision on the other. We are interested in projects that fit with at least one of our School’s four Pillars. Proposals cutting across two (or more) Pillars are equally welcomed. A concise overview of the topics that can be supervised by our faculty can be found here.
2) Candidates should not have lived in Germany for more than 15 months by April 2017. Furthermore, the last final examination for the highest university degree (usually the Master’s degree) should not have taken place more than six years prior to April 2017.
