Graduate Center at Department BCP

The department BCP starts to set up a graduate center. This is to serve as a service facility and contact point for all doctoral students in the department BCP and those interested in a doctorate. New offers will be added while the graduate center is still developing. Therefore, I would like to keep you informed about these offers and upcoming events by means of a newsletter and the website.

If you have any suggestions, wishes, comments or concerns regarding your doctoral training (e.g. supervision, professional and interdisciplinary further training, career opportunities, ...), please feel free to contact me at any time.

Promo Ini BCP (Network of Doctoral Students)

During winter term 2017/2018 doctoral representatives were elected and can be found here. They act as spokespersons of the doctoral students at the department, discuss current issues and develop a common position of the doctoral students on important topics. Also, these representatives will always have an open ear for doctoral student problems. They organize monthly meetings where you can ask your questions, discuss your topic, meet new friends, complain away, exchange experiences, have a beer, etc.

Their next meeting will take place on April 11, 2019, 6 pm at the Pharmacy building, Kelchstr. 31, room 006. More information can be found in the flyer attached to this e-mail.
