• For general information about the application procedure please see the  following web site

• A confirmation letter of a prospective supervisor is needed for your application. In the list of available thesis topics you can see which topics are eligible for SH applicants. If you would like to apply to any of those specific topics, please contact the supervisor directly by email (the email address is given in the description of the topic).
