Call for Applications (PDF) Deadline: 06 October, 2025

The path to graduate school is a decisive step toward an academic career. For many students, especially those from structurally disadvantaged regions, the process of preparing a convincing application can be particularly challenging. The SCRIPTS Digital Autumn School (DAS) 2025 is designed to address this need by providing hands-on guidance and targeted support.

Participants will develop their own exposé with feedback from experienced coaches, gain practical advice on how to build a strong application, and receive an introduction to the structures of the German academic system. The program especially encourages applications from students and alumni of the SCRIPTS Partner Network.

Who can apply?

  • Master’s students close to completing their degree or recent graduates

  • Applicants who studied or are currently studying at institutions in structurally disadvantaged regions

  • Students and alumni of the SCRIPTS Partner Network (priority will be given)

  • Candidates from Social Sciences, Humanities, Law, Area Studies, or Economics

Application deadline: October 6, 2025 (2 p.m. Berlin time).
To apply, please send a one-page cover letter (outlining your motivation and research interests) and a one-page academic CV to BIRT@scripts-berlin.eu
