You can apply once a year (between September and November to start in October the following year).

GEAS will announce details on its website and on East Asian Studies mailing lists and on other sites of relevance. Applications will be submitted online via the Dahlem Research School web portal. Individual applications by any kind of mail will not be considered at any time.

Please note that you need references and need to contact referees in advance before applying!

The web portal will send a mail to both of your referees after you have finished your application at the portal, and referees will upload their letters themselves.

Please make sure to contact them before applying, as referees will also need time to write a reference, and will only receive the link for upload after you have submitted your application.

We will consider your application in the selection process only when the application is complete.
