Depending on the student’s individual profile and interest funding will usually consist of a full scholarship (external or internal) or research and/or teaching post with one of the faculty members.

Mind and Brain scholarships

It is not a prerequisite for a successful application that applicants bring their own funding to the program. The Berlin School of Mind and Brain offers a limited number of scholarships.

If applicants have secured, or are in the process of securing, external funding (e.g. a scholarship, or a research position with one of their supervisors) they should inform the management of the School.
