ELIGIBILITY:
The program is intended for students holding a first degree (B.Sc. or equivalent) in biology, biochemistry, marine biology, oceanography, microbiology, chemistry, molecular biology, geology, biogeochemistry, bioinformatics or related fields. Applications will be considered even if the degree is not conferred until summer / fall of the year of application. The program is open for both domestic and foreign students. Students from universities that do not offer B.Sc. degrees may also qualify if their training is equivalent (e.g. German students with a Vordiplom and one additional year of advanced courses).
Exceptionally qualified students can begin research for their Ph. D. thesis immediately, provided they have a M.Sc. or a Diplom / Staatsexamen.
SCHOLARSHIP VALUE:
- M.Sc. Scholarships
There are a limited number of additional scholarships available through the program. If you want to apply for one of them, please explain your financial situation and your need for financial aid on a separate form (attached to your application for admission to the program). Admission to the program is unaffected by the need for financial aid! Students who do not receive a room and board scholarship from other sources can apply for two kinds of program scholarships:- matching fund scholarship:
successful grant applications by students for basic support from external sources (e.g. governmental, corporate or foundation grants) will be matched by a program scholarship of an equal amount (up to 220 Euro per month).Example:
220 Euro external grant + 220 Euro matching fund (program) = 440 Euro total per month.- full scholarship:
a very limited number of full room and board scholarships (up to 800 Euro per month) will be available through the program.
- Financial Aid for Ph.D. students
Students who enter the PhD program after the first year of intensive training receive funding (approximately 1100-1300 Euro per month) from one of a variety of sources, including individual fellowships, research grants, corporate and foundation funds, or University and departmental funds.
