Application documents
To enable us to react promptly to your application, we kindly request the following documents from you - together with your application:
- A complete curriculum vitae in tabular form, including a course of study, which also shows your personal aptitude and commitment outside your field of study.
- Study certificates (Bachelor's degree, Master's degree, Diploma degree, Score Overview )
- Copies of university certificates, including intermediate and preliminary examination certificates if applicable; if the degree is obtained after submission of the application documents, the copies must be submitted subsequently without being requested.
- Job Reference(s) of the last employement(s)
Applicants (m/f/d) who are not yet able to submit their diploma at the time of application must enclose with their application a transcript of proficiency issued by the university. This must include the name and type of courses attended, as well as individual grades or ECTS credit points.
Statement of Comparability for Foreign Higher Education Qualifications
Applicants, regardless of their nationality, must obtain a so-called "Statement of Comparability for Foreign Higher Education Qualifications" from the ZAB (https://www.kmk.org/zab/statement-of-comparability.html) for qualifications acquired abroad (master's degree/doctorate) and attach the long version to their application. The costs for the certificate evaluation are to be borne by the applicant. For applications of international research assistants who are enrolled in a Master's program in Germany, the transcript evaluation for the Bachelor's degree obtained abroad is also required.
