Please complete the following three steps to apply for a grant to support a doctoral initiative:
STEP 1: Fill out the ONLINE REGISTRATION FORM
Please note:
- Each applicant must fill out and submit a separate online registration form. Please indicate on each form which of the applicants will act as the contact person for the Graduate Academy.
- The submission of the online registration form alone does not constitute an application. Only when all necessary documents have been submitted to the Graduate Academy by both applicants, will your application be considered.
STEP 2: Submit the APPLICATION FORM and accompanying documents to the Graduate Academy
Please note:
- Please save the application form on your computer before filling it out in order to ensure that your data is transmitted correctly. After filling out the application form, please re-save the file and send it with a copy of your letter of admission as a doctoral candidate or your enrollment certificate (with the intended degree "Promotion m. Abschlussprfg") to Heidelberg University via email to the Graduate Academy: ga-docs@uni-heidelberg.de
- The application form must be filled out by both applicants (each applicant will fill out sections A1-D1 / A2-D2 separately) and submitted to the Graduate Academy by the contact person identified in the online registration form.
- If applicable, please submit a copy of the approval letter for external funding.
- Please attach your documents separately to the email, it is not necessary to combine them into one PDF.
STEP 3: Ask your mentor to submit the EVALUATION FORM (updated version; 05/2019)
Your mentor for the doctoral initiative must submit the evaluation form directly to the Graduate Academy via email by the same deadline that applies to your application: ga-docs@uni-heidelberg.de
Please note: The evaluation is to be treated confidentially by your mentor.
Before you submit your application, please check carefully that you have included all of the necessary documents. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
