This mainly includes your work in our projects (Erasmus, BMBF, others) and the writing of new applications and proposals to acquire new funding for the centre. For further information, check out our Projects and Proposals pages.

Teaching Activities (25%)

Every PhD Candidate is required to teach at least 3 Semesterwochenstunden (SWS, hours). Also, from time to time, teaching includes supervision of thesis or transfermodules. See the pages on Teaching for further information on our various teaching activities at the S2B.
