Doctoral programme in Ecology and Environmental Research
in BayNAT
Areas of training for doctoral students
The transferable skills listed in the attachment of the BayNAT regulations serve as a guide on the basis of which the doctoral students, together with their mentors, select an individual training programme. The awarding of credit points (CP) is handled on a case-by-case basis with a view to the required workload under the terms of the Guidelines of the Conference of the Ministers of Education. In total, doctoral students must earn at least 30 CP during their three-year doctoral project.
The form for documenting assessment components is provided by the BCG Dean's Office and is available as Word document on the BayNAT site (C. Forms at a Glance).
