DAAD Graduate School Scholarship Program (GSSP)
Doctoral education in structured PhD programs is an essential part of the qualification process of young academics in Europe and Germany.
For the second consecutive time, Graduate School Life Science Engineering (LSE has been awarded the prestigious DAAD Graduate School Scholarship Program (GSSP). This programme offers up to four doctoral scholarships – two scholarships each in 2025 and 2026 for international candidates. Each DAAD scholarship covers a funding period of up to four years.
Since 2012, the DAAD GSSP aims to increase the number of DAAD-funded international PhD students in structured doctoral programs in Germany. It also aims to support the establishment and expansion of research collaborations with foreign partners in the long term.
Scholarship recipients not only have the opportunity to complete a DAAD-funded doctorate at TU Darmstadt but also become part of the interdisciplinary Graduate School for Life Science Engineering. They can expect an international and interdisciplinary research environment with individual support.
We are delighted to welcome talented young scientists from around the world and to provide them with the best possible conditions for their scientific careers.
