For the successful completion of doctoral studies, professional guidance from the supervisor is necessary, not only in the scientific field, but also in the administrative field. The Department of Doctoral Studies therefore organizes methodological seminars every year, in which supervisors are introduced to the relevant study agenda.

Methodological Seminar for Supervisors

This seminar focuses on the fundamental rights and responsibilities arising from the supervisor-doctoral candidate relationship. Attendance is mandatory for newly appointed supervisors; existing supervisors are warmly welcome to attend as well.
