PHD-APPLICATION: CRUCIAL INFORMATION Dear prospective applicant for a DAAD PhD-scholarship, You herewith receive crucial information about the MANDATORY online registration for the next intake. It is absolutely necessary that you proceed exactly as indicated in this mail since it is a standardized online application. The steps are: 1. Go to funding-guide.de Choose in the bar on the left side “Graduates” as status and “Jordan” as country of origin. (If you are Syrian choose “Syria”). Leave the subject blank and tick the box “DAAD funding programmes only”. Then click on “Refine your selection”. Then you have to choose on the right side the programme “Research for Doctoral Candidates and Young Academics and Scientists DAAD”. You have to choose ONLY THIS programme. Since it might not show up on the very first page you might have to browse all the indicated programmes via the numbers or arrows at the bottow of the page. Click on the programme 2. You will be redirected to the COMPREHENSIVE information about the Phd programme. It is absolutely mandatory to carefully read ALL the information given as “Overview”, “Application Requirements”, “Country specific information”, “Application documents”. After having studied EVERYTHING you click on the green button “Submitting an application”. After having done so you have to choose at the bottom for which kind of PhD-Programme (up to 6 months or more than 6 months) you opt and then you click on the correspondent button “ To the application portal” (be sure to choose the right one). 3. You will now be redirected to the portal and you have to start with the registration. The actual registration process and navigation of the portal is explained in manuals which can be downloaded here: https://daad.de/sapportal/hilfe/hb_download/PBF_en.html Just one remark for the registration: Please choose English or German as a language (the language cannot be changed afterwards). After the registration was succesful you will be redirected to the portal. Then there are two options : Option 1: The preselected PhD-Scholarship programme appears already on the bottom of the starting screen (very unlikely). You click on it and follow the steps. In case you cannot see the programme on the bottom of the screen you have to continue with Option 2: You have to click on the button “Personal Funding” (in the upper blue bar). Than a second blue bar pops up underneath. Here you have to click on “Application” and your pre-selection shows up. Please click ONLY on these two buttons. I have to point out that without reading intrinsically at least the manual 01 (registering in the portal) and 02 (submitting an application) you will most likely not be able to apply succesfully. Please plan at least one day for the whole process. The deadline is Sept. 30th which means that by then your COMPLETE application has to be submitted. The portal wil be automatically closed at that date at midnight (German local time). It will not be possible the submit missing documents later and it is not feasable to apply directly at the Information Center Amman without the registration! After you have finished your online application ( which includes uploading all your documents EXCEPT the two letters of reference by Jordanian professors) the programm will generate a PDF file. This PDF file has to be printed out and submitted in THREE copies at the DAAD Information Center Amman (Please contact Dr. Hindawi, [email protected]). EACH copy has to include 2 sealed letters of reference from the 2 Jordanian professors. The submission of the printouts should not be later than Oct. 4th. I want to repeat that finishing the application in time is completely within your responsibility. Exceptions concerning late applications will not be made. Given that technical problems can always occur I strongly recommend to start the registration asap. As a special service, the DAAD Information Center Amman will host one tutorial about the application process. It will take place on Tuesday (Sept. 17th) from 4:00 to 5:00 pm in the library of the Goethe-Institut (goethe.de/ins/jo/amm/arindex.htm?wt_sc=amman) The presentation will ONLY deal with technical questions concerning the application. General questions about the Phd Programme (How can I find a supervisor etc.) will not be addressed. Therefore it is meant to be only for potential applicants. However, I strongly advise not to wait with the application till Sept. 17th but to study all the provided information, start the registration and only address technical obstacles you can not overcome on your own. Kindly note that the DAAD Information Center cannot provide any technical support besides the presentation. If you face any technical difficulties (AFTER having read all the information given in this note and in the mentioned manuals) you can contact [email protected] Since the colleagues are in charge of handling requests from more than 100 countries you might not get an immediate answer which should be taken into consideration for your time planning. Also from this point of view asking for technical advise should be your last resort for cases you cannot solve on your own. What are the next steps after the application: In case you have successfully registered and submitted your print-outs the IC Amman will review all the applications within the first week of October. Depending on the number of applications the IC Amman will either conduct a preselection or invite all applicants which submitted a complete application to interviews in Amman which will most likely take place on Oct. 19th (Saturday) and Oct. 26th (Saturday). A personal attendance is required. Either way, every applicant will be notified at the latest till Oct. 7th if she or he will be invited to the interview (n.b. if the number of submitted applications does not significantly exceed the numbers of the last years all applicants with a formally correct application will be invited to the interview. Therefore you could already mark the mentioned dates in your calendar.) After the interviews a shortlist of applications will be prepared and sent to DAAD in Bonn where the final selection will be made (till you get the final and official result from Bonn it might take till March/ April 2014). Those applicants who could not make it to the final stage will also be notified shortly after the interviews end of October. The DAAD Information Center Amman is looking forward to receiving your application. Best regards and good luck
