We are delighted to announce a new round of admissions for the BIGSSS Affiliated PhD program starting in September 2023. The deadline for application is May 31st, 2023.

Besides the Affiliated PhD Program, we welcome applications for the BIGSSS Adjunct PhD program at any time of the year. Admission to the Adjunct Program is on a rolling basis.

Affiliated PhD Program

The Affiliated PhD Program is offered to doctoral candidates who work in third-party funded or professorial research projects in the Social Sciences at the University of Bremen or Constructor University. They take part in the BIGSSS curriculum with a reduced workload and complete several PhD Milestones. Affiliated fellows benefit from BIGSSS' supervisory structure which entails independent supervision by a three-member Dissertation Committee chosen by the fellow in consultation with their Academic Coordinator.
