Description

Funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) in the "Excellence Initiative", the graduate school at the University of Mannheim provides doctoral training in empirical and quantitative methods and their application to business, economics, and the social sciences. Its mission is to train young academics according to best international practice with a strong focus on excellence in research. The graduate school is the first of its kind in Germany and is among very few in the world to integrate the disciplines of business, economics, and the social sciences into a coherent curriculum. It is one of only two graduate schools in the economic or social sciences to be funded by the "Excellence Initiative" of the German government in October 2006. It is organized into three centers: * the Center for Doctoral Studies in Business (CDSB), * the Center for Doctoral Studies in Economics (CDSE), and * the Center for Doctoral Studies in Social and Behavioral Sciences (CDSS). The school's premise is that excellence in research can only be achieved through excellence in a given discipline. Therefore, each doctoral center focuses primarily on top training and research in its own discipline by offering doctoral programs in the respective subfields (see figure below). However, teaching and research in the graduate school are concentrated in those central building blocks of modern economic and social sciences that are common among the participating disciplines. This makes it possible to create a coherent structure without compromising on quality in specialized research. The school fosters the exchange of ideas across the boundary of disciplines by coordinating graduate curricula and by encouraging students to benefit from advanced teaching in empirical and quantitative methods in neighboring fields.
