Graduate School of Law (doctorate)
The Graduate School of Law offers excellent legal training under one roof. The PhD students
- are in constant contact with other PhD students and professors at the Faculty of Law.
- benefit from good internal and external networking and establish contacts with interesting contacts for their dissertation projects.
- have the ideal forum to present and discuss their dissertations with the doctoral colloquia "diss:kurs" ius.
- develop their technical and methodological skills through a wide range of courses in the field of law.
- choose specific training courses in practical skills that promote their career and personal development.
- obtain a doctorate in the general doctorate or in the structured doctorate program.
Both the general doctorate and the doctorate program "Law in Transition" pass the doctorate as a double doctorate with a partner university (so-called Cotutelle de thèse).

- #iusbasel DocNet
PhD students in both general and structured doctorates have the opportunity to register for the ADAM-Workspace DocNet and get in touch with other PhD students of the Graduate School of Law. Access to the workspace can be applied for by sending an e-mail to forschungsdekanat-ius@clutterunibas.ch.
- Support services for research groups
PhD students with common thematic or methodological research interests can form a research group. For activities of such research groups (joint meetings or events, possibly combined with the possibility of inviting external experts), the Graduate School of Law passes various support offers (e.g. support with the organization or provision of infrastructure, etc.). Corresponding applications should be sent by e-mail to martin.reimann@clutterunibas.ch. Research groups can have themselves listed in DocNet. This has the advantage that other PhD students with similar interests can contact the group.
