Degree programme with international character

Education: Our degree programme includes not only candidates' work on their own research, but also a structured curriculum that combines research-oriented courses with courses providing general qualification.

Supervision: Doctoral researchers and their supervisors sign a Supervision agreement to ensure regular, reliable supervision of all research projects.

Internationality: The diverse biographical, social, and cultural backgrounds of BGHS community members are an exceptional resource that enriches research and (international) cooperation. For this reason, the BGHS is making a concerted effort to increase the percentage of international doctoral researchers. BGHS degree programme courses are held either in German or in English. The BGHS also offers support for doctoral researchers' international networking.
