Membership

Admission as a doctoral candidate in the Faculty of Human Sciences automatically includes membership in the Graduate School of the Faculty of Human Sciences.

Membership in the Graduate School generally entails no obligations (“passive membership”). 
All members may participate in workshops, courses, and other events organized by the Graduate School free of charge and without further requirements.

However, only “active members” may apply for funding for conference travels for their own, self-organized projects, such as workshops or field trips. 
“Active membership” is considered to exist if, within the past 12 months, an active and independent contribution has been made to the Graduate School’s qualification concept, e.g., by presenting one’s own research project at a presentation event or colloquium, by contributing to another event, or by serving on bodies relevant to doctoral studies, etc. Examples of active membership can be found in the relevant call for applications.
