Funding

Financial terms for studying in the English doctoral programmes

A privately paying PhD student pays € 3000 per academic year, which may be divided into a maximum of two instalments (the first instalment of at least € 1500 to be paid by the end of November, the other instalment to be paid by the end of March at the latest).

Under certain conditions, it is possible to gain entitlement to a monthly scholarship of € 430.

These conditions are as follows:

  • For the first study term: the applicant must be accepted and enrolled in a study programme and the Branch Board must assess the PhD thesis project as the best or second-best from all approved projects (only 2 applicants every year gain a scholarship). The applicant must also fill in a Scholarship Application and submit it together with the rest of the application documents.
  • For the second study term: by the end of January of the respective academic year at the latest, the PhD student must submit his or her individual study plan (ISP), comprising the time schedule of the performance of examinations, credits and publication activity.
  • For each further study term: It is necessary for the PhD student to comply with his or her own ISP. This compliance is regularly monitored by the Branch Board.
  • An essential condition for maintaining the scholarship is also activity in favour of the parent department and faculty (e.g. participation in conferences, teaching etc.).
