These are open to Ph.D. students from Germany and abroad who have at least a Master’s level degree in history, theology, or another discipline that works historically. They must have been pursuing their doctorate for no more than three years at the time of taking up the fellowship, though exceptions may be made in exceptional circumstances. As a research institution that is not part of a university, the Institute does not hold any examinations and does not award any academic qualifications. Dissertations are completed under the supervision of the fellowship holder’s supervisor at her/his home university.
International IEG Fellowships in Germany for Doctoral Students, are available to undertake Fellowship level programs at the Leibniz Institute of European History.
