Foundation of German Business (sdw): Support for doctoral candidates

The Foundation of German Business (sdw) offers doctoral candidates a vast number of opportunities ranging from various seminars and training programmes to financial support. The Klaus Murmann Fellowship Programme is centred on a variety of political, economic and social issues with corporate responsibility being an underlying theme throughout the entire course. Courses are held in German, so candidates should have German language skills of at least intermediate level (C1 or DSH 2). The foundation strongly encourages communication between the students and representatives from the fields of business, science, politics, culture and public administration. The scholarship provides monthly financial support up to 1,650 EUR plus a research cost allowance of 100 EUR per month and, if applicable, a family allowance of 155 EUR per month. Additional financial support is available for stays abroad, language course fees, and travel expenses.
