Cologne Doctoral Students

The WiSo Faculty at the University of Cologne has concluded cooperation agreements for doctoral student exchanges with a number of prestigious partner universities abroad. For doctoral students of the WiSo Faculty, this means they may attend the doctoral course program of the respective partner institution at no charge and, depending on their personal aims and capabilities, participate in the academic activities there. In addition, every outgoing doctoral student is given access to the partner institution’s research resources.

For an overview of available partner institutions, please refer to our partner university database.

At your request, the International Relations Center ZIB will seek to establish contact with additional partner universities.

If you wish to obtain further information on the application process, the  Cologne Graduate School (CGS) will be pleased to assist you.
