Academic Supervision

The BGSS provides support and intensive supervision for writing an excellent dissertation within three to four years, thus preparing doctoral researchers for a career within and outside the academic sphere. In order to maintain its international competitiveness, BGSS relies on a faculty consisting of more than 30 professors and senior lecturers of the Department of Social Sciences (ISW) and its partner institutions.

Further, the graduate school can revert to a supervision committee with internal and international advisors with a supervision agreement guaranteeing binding supervision standards. Given these resources the BGSS is able to provide support and intensive supervision for its doctoral researchers in order to ensure finalizing an excellent dissertation within three to four years.
