Graduate School
The Graduate School is TSHD's central point of contact for PhD candidates and everyone leading and contributing to a successful PhD journey. All PhD candidates can count on the support of the Graduate School with the administration process. Our team also supports PhD policy preparation and conducts monitoring meetings with all PhD candidates. We are deeply connected with our PhD community, actively collaborating with all those involved in the PhD process to consistently enhance the support and services available to our candidates. Policy makers can expect reliable management information and analysis from us. Supervisors and program leaders can turn to us for current and accurate information about their doctoral candidates' PhD trajectories.

Research Integrity and Data Management
The Open & Responsible Research policy team thinks with researchers at the case level about how to shape their research responsibly. We make policy based on the moral frameworks that serve as a starting point for the university's public mission, while striving to keep the practical realities of doing research in mind. Specifically, we consider ethical review, workable application of privacy laws and regulations, and data and software sharing.
