With its excellent research environment, a doctoral programme which is tailored to the needs of PhD students and the intensive personal support it provides, the Graduate Centre offers postgraduate students optimum conditions for their PhD-projects and a custom-made preparation for the time thereafter, both with regard to academic and non-academic careers.

Applicants are expected to contribute to the development of the GCSC’s study programme by presenting their current research at least once in a public lecture, and by offering a series of workshops and seminars related to their fields of research. They should furthermore facilitate the GCSC mentoring programme by offering regular consultation hours for PhD students.
