Application Timeline and Instructions
Thank you for your interest in joining the SPOT programme!
The Uni-Assist application portal will be open from 10 November 2024 to 25 January 2025 for applicants seeking SPOT scholarships. Note that no second call for scholarship applications will be issued.
For non-scholarship applicants, the application portal will remain open until 30 June 2025. However, we recommend that international applicants requiring a German study visa complete their application by 30 April 2025 to allow ample time for visa processing.
Once the application portal opens, we encourage you to begin your application promptly to ensure all required documents are submitted by the deadline.
For any questions or further information about the programme, please feel free to reach out at contact@spot-psychology.eu.
We look forward to receiving your application!
