Swiss Egyptological Doctoral Course
The Swiss Egyptological Doctoral Course aims to link the only two Swiss universities offering Egyptology as a full course of study - Basel and Geneva - in the training of doctoral students. The doctoral students are introduced to current research topics and network with each other and with internationally renowned representatives of the field within the framework of workshops and conferences.
One or two meetings are held annually, which are adapted to the scientific needs of the doctoral students, but to which Master's students and employees of the mid-level faculty (assistants, project researchers) are also invited.
It is an inter-university training module that can be attended in addition or as an alternative to existing programs (e.g. the doctoral program of the Basel Department of Ancient Civilizations). The offer is an important tool for the structured supervision of doctoral students.
