Applications to the IMPRS-LM PhD program is possible only via our ONLINE PORTAL.

The entire process, from opening of our application portal to the onsite interviews, unfolds over a four-month duration (see the current timeline below).
Applicants are granted a window 6-8 weeks to register on our portal and complete their application.
Subsequently, our coordination office and the recruiting faculty will evaluate and select the top applicants that will be invited for the online interviews.

The online interviews will consist of two short online interactions: a panel interview & a scientific presentation.
Successful candidates will then be invited to an onsite visit at the beginning of February 2024 to meet the recruiting labs and find the best matching projects.

For more information, check the application FAQs or contact us.
