Pursuing a doctorate with health impairments

The Graduate Center would like to point out that health impairments do not have to mean exclusion for a doctorate. We would like to draw your attention to the project "PROMI - Promotion inklusive":
The project "PROMI - Promotion inklusive" is aimed at all those who are interested in the topic of "Purusing a doctorate with health impairments, disabilities and chronic physical or mental illnesses". The information platform(Opens in a new tab)   provides you with research results and experiences from the project in the form of action aids, good practice examples and resources. In addition, it offers the opportunity to network with other doctoral candidates and with relevant internal and external players on the topic.

Funding for professional events

Doctoral candidates actively shape the program of the Graduate Center. “Research Seminars” on (interdisciplinary) topics related to theory and methods can be funded upon request. Additionally, there is funding available for conferences organized by doctoral students.

External funding

We will gladly provide information on external funding opportunities for your doctoral studies or on financing stays abroad. We also offer information events on doctoral scholarships on a regular basis.
