For graduate researchers interested in doing doctoral research it is not just a question of finding a suitable topic and a supervisor, but also of financing your research plans. Many doctoral students finance their research by working as assistant lecturers or researchers. There are also opportunities to win scholarships in the research training groups and graduate schools, and the Rectorate of Bielefeld University provides scholarships for outstanding young researchers. And of course there are many other organisations which provide funding opportunities for graduate researchers.
More information on financing your doctorate is available here.
Once you have started your graduate or postgraduate research Bielefeld University also offers additional research funding programmes and prizes for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers pursuing their research at the University.
