Application for Admission

Confirmation of enrolment (“Betreuungszusage")

Pointers on writing your abstract
Your abstract should be approximately two pages long and contain the following:
1) Detailed information on the topic and research focus of your PhD, including your research question, aims of your study and research design (approximately one page)
2) A brief overview of the research that has already been done by others on this specific topic and of the ways in which your research is related to and deviates from it
3) An overview of pilot studies or other preparatory work related to your PhD (e.g. research done for the purposes of your Master’s degree, professional experience etc.)
4) A preliminary time schedule for your research

Students who are still in the initial stages of their doctoral studies and who might not yet be able to provide detailed information on their planned research projects are still welcome to register with ZePrOs. They are advised to simply take up contact with one of our coordinators.
