The Berlin Graduate School Muslim Cultures and Societies funded by
the Excellence Initiative of the German Federal and State Governments

The Graduate School investigates the plurality, changeability, and
global connectedness of Muslim cultures and societies. It invites
applications from candidates whose dissertation project fits one of
the Graduate School’s Research Areas. Successful applicants will have
a master’s degree in one of the disciplines represented at the
Graduate School, with a ranking, where applicable, of above average.
The language of communication is English. Admission is for one year,
and, contingent upon a positive evaluation after the first year of
study, will be extended for a total of three years.
