Postgraduate Students and Postdoc Scholarships

Each year, the GHIL awards a number of research scholarships to postgraduate students, Habilitanden and postdocs at German universities to enable them to carry out research in Britain. Scholarships are generally awarded for a period of up to six months (only full months), depending on the requirements of the research project.
Deadlines for applications are usually 31 March (for the period from July) and 30 September (for the period from January) each year. Please note that in 2021 the deadline for applications for the period from August 2021 has been extended to 31 May. You can find the list of essential application documents in the link below:
