Elective qualification milestones
Five areas of the elective qualification
MAPEX aims to support doctoral researchers in the best possible way in the acquisition of professional and interdisciplinary skills and competences during their doctoral phase.
In this regard, the MAPEX qualification programme proposes milestones within five fields of qualification, which should enable all doctoral students to acquire comprehensive further and advanced training regarding important topics.
General Information
Documentation of acquired milestones and the transcript of records
MAPEX curates a central list of achieved milestones for every member of the programme. Please hand in all certificates and proofs of achievements/participation via input mask.
Milestones achieved before registration to the programme will be accepted provided they have been acquired after graduation from the university degree programme, that entitles to pursue a doctorate.
A transcript of records based on this list, as well as a certificate of participation on the MAPEX Doctoral Qualification Programme, can be issued at any time. Please contact us directly via our email address: mapexphdprotect me ?!uni-bremenprotect me ?!.de
