The goal of a structured doctoral program is to support its dissertations as effectively as possible. The “structure” consists of various aspects:

• a supervisor team of at least two university faculty members that supports the project together (interdisciplinary).
• an annual review of the project’s progress and further development in a team meeting with the supervisor team in June.
• the presentation of one’s own project in the colloquium in the presence of the supervisor team each winter semester.
• seminars, workshops and advisory services through the Graduate School’s faculty and international visiting scholars.
• offers at Dahlem Research School (DRS) at Freie Universität Berlin, the PhD-Net at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and the FSGS in cooperation with the course “Applied Literary Studies“ to “transferable skills“ and exploration of professional fields.
• support for organizing one’s own classes as far as the relevant institutes can facilitate this.
• support for visits abroad.
• support for organizing one’s own events and inviting guests.
