Doctoral Studies

The Fulda Graduate Centre of Social Sciences brings together doctoral students from all over the world and connects them with scholars from our partner network and beyond.

The project opens opportunities for international exchange by supporting the mobility of doctoral students, binational supervision, and international events.
