International postgraduate/doctoral programmes of the DAAD and DFG
- Since 2001: joint responsibility for the funding programme called "Doctorates at Universities in Germany (PHD)" / "International Postgraduate Programmes (IPP)", run and managed by the DAAD
- Goals: To implement the relevant recommendations made by the German Science Council (WR) and the German Rectors' Conference (HRK) on reforming doctoral training
- To increase the international appeal and competitiveness of doctorates taken in Germany by highly qualified postgraduate students from home and abroad (target share of foreigners: 30%) by
- clearly structuring and intensifying the doctoral studies
- positioning international doctoral programmes at centres of excellent research
- limiting the time to doctorate and providing optimal supervision (by firmly defining the university's institutional responsibility for the doctoral student)
- ensuring the compatibility of international degrees
- offering programmes and courses instructed in English
- promoting interdisciplinary dialogue
- After four selection rounds a total of 50 International Postgraduate Programmes were receiving funding.
- NB: Doctorates at Universities in Germany (PHD) is an institutional funding programme which is not intended for individuals, but rather is open for universities to apply
