Application Deadline: The application deadline is 31st December 2016.
The International Max Planck Research School for Chemistry and Physics of Quantum Materials (IMPRS-CPQM) is a Ph.D programme which offers positions for graduate students.
In IMPRS-CPQM, formally collaborates with two universities – Technische Universität Dresden and the University of St Andrews (Scotland) – to offer an internationally leading PhD programme in the field of materials chemistry and physics.
In general, students don’t need to provide any language certificates to get admitted to IMPRS-CPQM. The one exception to this rule is that the University of St Andrews does require evidence of English language proficiency.
Course Level: Positions are available to undertake PhD programme.
Study Subject: Positions are offered in the field of materials chemistry and physics.
Scholarship Award: Students in IMPRS-CPQM will be supported according to the norms of the country in which they are performing their research. While based in Germany they will be remunerated on the contract basis that applies to all PhD students working in Germany at Max Planck Institutes; if working in the UK they will receive the UK national stipend rate for science students. The tuition fees that are requested by UK universities will also be covered as part of the University of St Andrews’ contribution to IMPRS-CPQM.
Scholarship can be taken in Germany and UK
Eligibility:
- IMPRS is looking for highly motivated PhD students who have a record of excellence in their previous studies. Most of their incoming students will have Masters or MPhys degrees as part of their entry qualification. Applications from candidates with excellent Bachelor degrees will also be considered for some projects involving St Andrews supervisors. If a student joins IMPRS-CPQM holding a Bachelor degree, they will do extra graduate courses to take them to the equivalent Masters level.
