Important note for applicants
If you're an applicant, please first have a careful look at our guidelines on this website. Please note that for fairness, we cannot consider any application sent directly to a research group leader, to the Head of the Academic Office.
All PhD applications must must go via the shared platform with the DIGS-ILS.
If you have further questions, we're happy to hear from you!
