PhD Scholarships in Cultural Studies

Eligibility Criteria

PhD candidates must have an M.A. or equivalent university degree with a grade well above average and in a field relevant to the dissertation. The degree should meet the international equivalence requirements. Please do not hesitate to contact the IPP-team for further information on the equivalence of your degree.

If the dissertation is to be undertaken in a discipline other than that of your university degree, your qualifications need to fulfil the conditions of equivalence as stated in the statutes for doctoral programmes at JLU. Please note that as of October 2007, membership in the IPP requires enrolment at JLU for the entire period of your doctoral studies (enrolment fee: approximately €230 per semester).

Offered Benefits

Scholarships amount to 1.468 a month and are granted on an annual basis with two potential annual extensions, thus covering the entire three-year programme. The GCSC supports young researchers with families; doctoral researchers with children under the age of twelve are eligible for renewals of up to four years.
