Searching for your own path in international academics?
The new Graduate School of Global Politics is your opportunity to set
the course for a successful research-oriented career.
The Center for Global Politics, a distinguished Freie Universität
Berlin (FU) institution directed by Prof. Klaus Segbers, is now
launching a call for applications for its Graduate School of Global
Politics (GSGP). Offering a valuable combination of academic
preparation, research and practical experience, the GSGP is the place to
acquire knowledge in context and prepare for an outstanding career in
research-oriented occupational fields. The integrated German-Chinese
program is a cooperative endeavor between selected Chinese universities
and Freie Universität Berlin. It focuses on applicants with
dissertation topics in the fields of IR and Global Politics and a
regional focus on East Asia. The FU Berlin, which was successful in the
federal and state "Initiative for Excellence", is now one of
nine "universities of excellence" in the Federal Republic of
Germany.
The GSGP is a 3-year PhD program and involves 8-10 outstanding PhD
candidates from FU Berlin and selected Chinese partner universities.
Special features include:
* Pioneer Concept: the first bi-national German-Chinese PhD program
in the social sciences;
* Systematic coursework: in-depth knowledge of theories of
International Relations (IR) and courses on various methodologies best
suited for each PhD candidate's field of specialization;
* A 6-12 month research stay: an opportunity for detailed on-the-spot
research and an intensive international academic experience;
* High-quality academic monitoring: consultation with two advisors,
all renowned scholars, for the whole period of the dissertation;
* Practical experience: various courses in research management,
projects with think tanks, and opportunities for internships;
* Joint certificate: award of a doctoral degree from the PhD
candidate's home university and a joint certificate from both
universities.
The Center for Global Politics is now inviting students to apply for the
GSGP program through Freie Universität Berlin. Those applicants will
start in October 2011 and will complete their research stay at selected
Chinese universities. After successfully finishing the program and their
dissertation, they will receive a doctoral degree from FU Berlin
together with the joint certificate.
