Graduate School Scholarship Programme (GSSP)
Doctoral education in structured PhD programmes are an essential part of the qualification process of young academics in Europe and Germany. High quality standards regarding the selection and hosting of doctoral students, as well as an international research environment, create unique perspectives particularly for foreign applicants.
Application process
Each DAAD scholarship in this programme comprises funding for up to four years. DAAD scholarship holders will be identified by a two-step procedure.
Step One: PhD positions are advertised internationally by the participating gradaute schools and - following a selection process - appropriate candidates are nominated for a DAAD scholarship by the hosting programme.
Step Two: The nominees submit an online-application with supporting documentation via the DAAD-portal.
