Many Doctorates under One Roof

The Department of Biology, Chemistry, and Pharmacy at Freie Universität Berlin is opening a new graduate center. No 290/2019 from Oct 09, 2019 As of Wednesday, doctoral students in the Department of Biology, Chemistry, and Pharmacy at Freie Universität Berlin, around 800 in all, can take advantage of the new graduate center, located on Arminallee 22 on the Dahlem campus. The center will provide them with advising services regarding administrative procedures as well as opportunities for professional training, networking, and career counseling related to their field. People interested in pursuing a doctoral degree or who have already started to do so will find a wealth of information and support there. The center will also host special training workshops and courses for doctoral students. The new structure aims to strengthen ties between doctoral students and alumni that persist beyond the connections formed within research groups or within specific institutes. The center will provide services related specifically to the departmental level, as a supplement to the university-wide support provided for early-career researchers through the Dahlem Research School (DRS).
