Admission procedure returns to two selections per year
Since November 2021 we have been running a test phase of a new application/admission procedure for PhD positions offered through our program. This test phase will end on June 30, 2023 and we’ll return to our traditional biannual selections (spring and summer). Applications submitted by June 30 will still be evaluated by our experts and academically by members of our faculty within 5 to 10 weeks from the day of submission. If your application has been positively evaluated, you will be invited to a video interview with an admission committee in September 2023 at the latest. Passing the interview with the admission committee means that you qualify for individual interviews with group leaders and thus to enter our PhD program after finding a host group for your PhD.
The call for the first annual selection in 2024 is scheduled to open in September 2023. Those applications that successfully pass all evaluation phases will be invited to visit Dresden in February. During that visit, eligible candidates will have the opportunity to have individual interviews with group leaders. PhD positions will be offered at the end of the visit. Please note that the annual selections are subject to a strict application deadline, and to a fixed schedule for video interviews with the admission committees and to the visit in Dresden.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
