Application Information

for PHD programs

Here you can find out about deadlines, the application process, and the requirements to apply for individual, research-oriented PhD programs at Constructor University.

Application deadlines

Constructor University offers rolling admission for research-oriented PhD programs. As there are no course requirements for individual PhD degrees prospective students can apply throughout the year for admission.

Application process

A prerequisite for the application to an individual research-oriented PhD program is an acceptance letter by a Constructor University faculty member. You can find a list of faculty members here: Faculty | Constructor University

Faculty members may be approached individually by email. Please include a research proposal (1-2 pages) as well as your master thesis in the communication.
In general, Constructor University does not offer financial support for PhD students. It is recommended to search for financial support before applying to an individual PhD degree, e.g. via the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). For more information please see: Scholarship Database - DAAD - Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst
