Admission

Are you a PhD candidate at the University of Tübingen and doing your doctorate on an education-related topic? Would you like to do so within a structured program and be part of an international and interdisciplinary network? New applications for associations are always welcome!

Associate membership is open not only for PhD candidates but for all faculty members and postdocs of the University of Tübingen. Details on how to apply can be found below.

PhD candidates meeting the following four criteria are encouraged to apply:

• Financial support for their PhD term is secured, e.g. in form of a stipend or a staff position for a total of three years.

• You are supervised or co-supervised by a member of the LEAD Faculty.

LEAD welcomes students who are engaged in other existing doctoral programs as long as their time budget allows. PhD candidate applications should include an application cover sheet (link to pdf), a CV, certificates (incl. high school diploma), a research proposal (exposé, max. 2 pages), and a letter of motivation describing the reasons for the application.
