Announcement follows

The Bielefeld Graduate School of Economics and Management welcomes applications from exceptional and highly motivated graduates with a degree

• Business Administration
• Economics
• Mathematics

or related fields, such as

• Engineering
• Operations Research
• Statistics

The formal prerequisite for admission as a doctoral student is a Master's degree or equivalent (e.g. a German Diplom) conferred by a University after four years of study and including a written thesis. The degree need not be completed at the time of application. Furthermore, a sound knowledge of modern mathematical techniques is indispensable for successful participation.

The application period for the academic year starting October 1, 2013 is November 1, 2012 - January 31, 2013.

An application for admission to the graduate school should include exactly 2 PDF-files consisting of (please take care of the order):

1st file

• the completed official application form (pdf)
• a cover letter
• a motivation letter
• a detailed curriculum vitae
• a copy of your last/current academic transcript/certificate
• an abstract of the master's thesis

2nd file

• Copies of your previous transcripts/certificates
• copies of any other activities
• a proof of language proficiency
• anything else you would like to include

Every applicant should contact two academic or professional referees and ask them to submit completed recommendation forms (doc), optionally accompanied by letters of reference, directly to BiGSEM.

Applicants whose native language is not English must present proof of their language proficiency unless they have completed a college or university degree taught entirely in English. A high score in the Test Of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or any other standardized international test constitutes sufficient evidence of a good command of English.

The available places will be offered to the most promising candidates after a careful selection process. Prospective students are encouraged to add any relevant information that might help the admissions committee in making their decision.

Please note that the University currently charges no tuition fees for doctoral work. However, an enrollment fee of about 200€ is due every semester and includes a ticket for unlimited public transport in the area. Also, health insurance is mandatory in most cases.

Complete application packages should be sent to: email
