Willkommen bei derGraduate School of Social Sciences (G3S)
Die Graduate School of Social Sciences ist die Dachstruktur für alle Doktorierenden der Gesellschaftswissenschaften.
Als Teil des Departements Gesellschaftswissenschaften gehören wir in der universitären Gesamtstruktur der Philosophisch-Historischen Fakultät an. Zu uns gehören eine Reihe von kleineren fachspezifischen Teilprogrammen. Neben der G3S bestehen weitere Doktoratsprogramme an der Fakultät.
Als Doktorand:in den gesellschaftswissenschaftlichen Promotionsfächern kannst Du bei der G3S Mitglied werden. Wir unterstützen Doktorierende individuell und ergänzend zu den Betreuungspersonen in allen Belangen ihres Doktoratsstudiums und organisieren Angebote zum interdisziplinären wissenschaftlichen Austausch zwischen Doktorierenden. Als Mitglied bist Du herzlich eingeladen, die Angebote der G3S nach Deinen Bedürfnissen mitzubestimmen. Ausserdem haben zwei Vertreter:innen der Doktorierenden je ein Stimmrecht im Leitungsgremium.
Hast Du Fragen rund ums Doktoratsstudium oder bist Du neu als Doktorand:in immatrikuliert? Melde Dich gerne für ein informelles Informationsgespräch bei der Koordinatorin Julia Büchele: j.buechele@clutterunibas.ch
