The African Centre for Career Enhancement & Skills Support (ACCESS) is pleased to announce a call for applications for five doctoral scholarships.

The ACCESS program, financed since 2020 by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service), analyzes the employability of university graduates within the African context. It aims to research how graduates in Africa search and find work and build up their careers, and to develop and test innovative concepts for employability promotion at Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) in Africa.

A monthly stipend of €1,300 and related travel grants will be paid according to DAAD guidelines. Participants will be supported for a maximum of three years, within which they will be expected to produce their PhD thesis in an appropriate subject area.

The deadline for submission is 30 April 2025. Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed via Zoom.
