G3S offers low-threshold courses to supplement the existing doctoral courses offered by the departments and the university (GRACE). In addition, G3S provides selective financial and administrative support to the subjects of the Department of Social Sciences in the organization of doctoral events.

In order to tailor the program as closely as possible to the needs of doctoral students, we are happy to receive suggestions for courses, lecture series, exchange groups, etc. After a needs assessment and approval of costs, the G3S Coordination takes over the organization completely or supports doctoral students in the independent planning and implementation of events.

There are two ways of documenting credits earned:

• Credit points for courses and classes taken via the University of Basel system are ultimately visible on the personal profile of the MoNA online service. The current credit overview can be viewed there at any time. In this respect, credit points are acquired automatically.
• Credit points for courses that cannot be booked via the University of Basel's online system or that take place at other universities (conferences, workshops, summer schools, etc.) must be entered via a learning contract. You must conclude the learning contract with your supervisor in advance of the event. You can find the relevant information sheet here.

Both forms of proof of performance are forwarded to the G3S coordinator at the end. This is the basis for the confirmation of the completed credits for the doctorate (within the G3S this is a total of at least 18 credit points).
