About this position

The International Graduate School GFL at the University of Education Freiburg offers a structured doctoral programme in German as a Foreign Language (Deutsch als Fremdsprache). The programme is run in cooperation with the German Jordanian University in Amman and is designed for qualified candidates from the MENA region and beyond who want to pursue research leading to a PhD.

The doctoral study is centered on research and teaching in foreign language education, with a particular focus on how German is learned and taught in different regional contexts. It prepares doctoral candidates to develop expertise in scientific methods and methodology, foreign language pedagogy, linguistics, cultural studies, German for special purposes, and media and media methodology. The programme combines academic research training with supervision and is explicitly intended to support an academic career, especially for staff working or aiming to work at universities in the MENA region.

Study is organised as a 50/50 online and on-site format over six semesters, with most courses taught in German and some in English. Participants can choose to write their exposé in either language. The programme also highlights close interaction with two supervising professors and a supportive environment for international doctoral candidates at Freiburg.
