BIGS offer the best possible preparation for a career at a high level in research and beyond.
Doctorate plusBIGS is a qualification program that is offered exclusively to BIGS doctoral students. The program, which changes every semester, includes a variety of offers, from half-day workshops to language courses during the semester. Registration for the events takes place via the coordinator of the respective BIGS.
