Berlin Program for Advanced German and European Studies
Kerstin Leitner Berlin Fellowships
Starting with the academic year 2019/20, the Berlin Program is pleased to offer two additional dissertation fellowships — the Kerstin Leitner Berlin Fellowships — for Ph.D. candidates from Malawi and China's inner provinces, e.g. Gansu, Shaanxi, Hubei.
Applicants must be full-time graduate students enrolled in a Ph.D. program and have preferably completed all coursework before their fellowship begins. The Kerstin Leitner Berlin Fellowship has a value of EUR 1400 per month and carries a travel reimbursement of EUR 1200 (maximum). In case of equally qualified candidates, female applicants will be given priority.
We are grateful to Dr. Kerstin Leitner, an FU Alumna who dedicated her professional life to the UN’s development and health programs, to offer her initiative to the Berlin Program.

The program offers a stimulating academic environment that combines excellent research opportunities with intellectual and cultural interaction. With its four universities, 60 research institutes and numerous state and national archives, Berlin is one of the most diverse and prolific centers of higher education and research in Europe.
Our colloquium — which is run in German — serves as a central meeting point for all fellows to share, discuss and support each other’s work. Guided by eminent scholars each semester, the program colloquium also seeks to address current German public debates, invites distinguished guests and arranges cultural excursions.
The Berlin Program is a residential program based at Freie Universität Berlin and administered in close cooperation with our North American partner, the German Studies Association (GSA) — the largest professional association of scholars, professionals and students who focus on the study of German-speaking Europe (www.thegsa.org).
