Supervision

Can my PhD thesis be supervised by a professor from a university other than the JLU Giessen?

No. Participation in the IPP programme requires participants to find a first supervisor at the JLU. However, the IPP encourages you to find a second supervisor at another university, even abroad.

I don’t have a supervisor at the JLU. May I apply for the PhD programme?

Yes. PhD supervisors may be chosen by the applicants before or after their admission. The IPP team will assist you in finding a supervisor from the JLU once you are admitted into the programme.
