Applications close on 10 November 2026 at 24:00 CET. Doctoral students usually hold work contracts equivalent to TVöD E13, with health insurance and social security.

Who can apply

Nationality
IMPRS-BI trains international doctoral students. Its FAQ explains the residence permit that students from outside the EU, such as Tunisians, need, and the coordination office helps with the visa.
