In addition, you will be added to our internal elearning (moodle) platform, where we comprehensively compiled all relevant information and maintain a personal network with all doctoral students.

The BIGSAS Codex (French translation/traduction française) of Doctoral Studies and Mentorship provides a concise statement of the academic rights and responsibilities of BIGSAS doctoral candidates – the Junior Fellows –and their individual mentoring groups. For each admitted doctoral candidate the mentoring group consists of one assigned supervisor and two mentors. The Codex lays particular emphasis on the Junior Fellow-mentoring group relationship and aims to ensure excellent training, mentoring and supervision within BIGSAS.
