Courses aim to train doctoral candidates to become independently and critically thinking researchers who conduct cutting-edge research on the basis of thorough methodological and theoretical reflection. 

Each semester,. the DSHCS offers workshops on academic writing, methodology, transferable skills, and career development which focus on the specific needs of doctoral candidates in the humanities.

Working groups provide an opportunity for students to develop an agenda for themselves, and moreover to benefit from peer-to-peer learning and open and flexible modes of working.
