Going abroad during your Ph.D. studies

  1. 1.Step 1: Plan your stay

    • I inform myself about possible types of stay

      • Research stays

      • Conference / lecture trips

      • Teaching stays

      • Further education and training programmes (e.g. staff weeks, language courses)

    • I research which co-operations the University of Kassel has with foreign universities

    • I think about a suitable time for my project abroad

    • I discuss my project abroad with my supervisor

    If you are interested in a binational doctorate (cotutelle procedure), please visit the website of the doctoral office for further information.

  2. 2.Step 2: Find a financing option

    The deadlines for applying for scholarships usually have a long lead time. To make sure you don't miss out on any funding opportunities, make sure you look for funding options early on.

  3. 3.Step 3: Advice

    The Department of Internationalization and International Cooperation will be happy to advise you on funding opportunities for your project abroad (eint-funding[at]uni-kassel[dot]de).

    When making an inquiry, please provide the most important key data of your project, if available:

    • Type of stay/content
    • Destination (country + city)
    • Planned period
