Application Process for Incoming PhD Candidates on Exchange
Step 1:
We consider if the PhD project fits into the University of Applied Arts Vienna. This includes the motivation and the language skills of applicants as well as the availability of study places and possible guest-supervisors. The selection process does not include a judgement on the artistic-scientific value of your work. The decision upon applications lies with the coordinators of our doctoral programmes at Zentrum Fokus Forschung.
There is no specific deadline for an application for our PhD-exchange, but we expect you to apply at least three months before the beginning of the next semester (winter semester: October - January, summer semester: March - June). Please apply via email to Wiebke Miljes, zff@uni-ak.ac.at.
Required Documents:
- Exposé of the respective PhD-project (1-3 pages)

- Information concerning the PhD-process: date of enrollment for the PhD-programme, projected end of the PhD-project, name(s) of the supervisor(s) at your home institution
- Curriculum Vitae (incl. publications)
