International Guest Lectureship Programme at Bielefeld University

Dear applicant,

Please fill in this form for your application and upload the signed attachments as PDF.

Information on selection process

A committee appointed by the rectorate decides about the application. It is expected that the invited guest is available for questions about studying at the sending institution. The decision making is based upon the criteria of sustainability, which can be proven e.g. through a researcher alumnus/-a status of the guest or an existing or planned cooperation with the sending institution. Guest lecturers coming from a university that holds or plans a strategic partnership with Bielefeld University are prioritized in the selection procedure. Likewise, applications for guests who are researcher alumni of Bielefeld University are prioritized.
