TYPES OF MEMBERSHIPS

The Bamberg Graduate School of Social Sciences offers two types of memberships for students who wish to pursue doctoral studies:

01. REGULAR MEMBERSHIP

Current regular doctoral students are full-time researchers funded either by BAGSS and the Excellence Initiative or by an external institution (e.g. the DAAD, other bodies funding doctoral studies based on academic excellence).

02. ASSOCIATED MEMBERSHIP

Prospective associate doctoral students (i.e. self-funded, e.g. by a position as a research assistant at the University of Bamberg or other local research institutes) are usually already enrolled as doctoral candidates at the University of Bamberg. They may, for example, be employed as lecturers or researchers, work on their thesis part-time or receive a scholarship from another institution but do not receive funding from BAGSS. Candidates need to have found a supervisor from the BAGSS faculty when applying for an associate membership.
