CS@max planck Doctoral Program

CS@max planck is a highly selective doctoral program that grants admitted students full financial support to pursue research in the broad area of computer and information science, with faculty at Max Planck Institutes and some of the best German universities. The MPI-SP faculty is also actively participating in this program.

To qualify for the program, students must hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in computer science (or a related field) and have an outstanding academic record. We especially encourage applications from students who wish to explore research across the CS spectrum before committing to a topic and advisor.

Applications for Fall admission must be completed by December 31 of the previous year.

Unsolicited Applications

Unsolicited applications are also possible. If your interest matches the research areas of a group leader at MPI-SP, feel free to reach out to them directly. Please include detailed information about your background, your research interests, and how those relate to the research direction of the envisioned advisor. Generic applications will be ignored.
