The selection process comprises two stages: Applications are sent to the
Doctoral Program in Buddhist Studies in Munich. The program will select
promising candidates, who then have to submit their materials to the DAAD.

by February 2017.

The prerequisites for application are non-German citizenship, a Master of
Arts or Magister Artium degree or equivalent, excellent knowledge of at
