Field research or archive visits are also eligible for funding. All doctoral students enrolled at Fachhochschule Dortmund are eligible to apply.


Support for doctoral (expectant) parents

(Expectant) parents working on their doctorate receive special support at Fachhochschule Dortmund. In addition to the services offered by the Family Service  (including mobile childcare), Equal Opportunities  has established funding instruments specifically for mothers doing their doctorates.

Doing a doctorate with health impairments

The Graduate Center would like to point out that health impairments do not have to mean exclusion from a doctorate. We would like to draw your attention to the "PROMI - doctorate inclusive" project:

The "PROMI - doctorate inclusive" project is aimed at anyone interested in the topic of "Doing a doctorate with health impairments, disabilities and chronic physical or mental illnesses". The information platform(Opens in a new tab)  provides you with research findings and experiences from the project in the form of guidelines, examples of good practice and resources. It also offers the opportunity to network with other doctoral candidates and with relevant internal and external stakeholders on the topic.

Promotion of specialist events

The Graduate Center program is actively shaped by the doctoral candidates. Research seminars on (interdisciplinary) topics relating to theory and methods can be supported on application. In addition, specialist conferences organized by the doctoral students are also funded.

External funding

We will be happy to advise you!
