The Bremen
International Graduate School of Social Sciences (BIGSSS) invites
applications to its Predoctoral Fellowship program. The program is
designed for particularly talented BA and BSc students who wish to
proceed straight into their PhD, and who have a background in the social
sciences or humanities and/or those who have a preliminary
social-scientific research idea in mind.
Successful applicants for the Ph.D. and Predoctoral fellowships will pursue a topic in one of BIGSSS' three Thematic Fields.
The program will commence on September 1st.
All fellows are expected to choose Bremen as their place of residence.
Financial Support
BIGSSS offers 2 Predoctoral
Fellowships of 800 Euros/month for 12 month for excellent BA and BSc
graduates. After fulfilling some course requirements and having their
proposals accepted within the first year, candidates can switch into the
regular three year PhD program.

BIGSSS believes that diverse backgrounds and
ideas are crucial to academic excellence. Therefore, BIGSSS welcomes and
promotes diversity and ensures equal opportunity and inclusion for all
of its members regardless of ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex,
