The Center for Doctoral Studies in Social and Behavioral Sciences (CDSS) at the University of Mannheim acknowledges the workload for regular attendance, satisfactory work on daily assignments, and successful completion of an assignment in the form of a written paper with 4 European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) points.

To obtain this document, you are asked to do the following:

• book the option “ECTS Credits” via our booking system when you register for your course. If you want to book the option later, please send a mail to summershool(at)gesis(dot)org. Please note that you can only book the document prior to the course start date, 
• submit a paper of 5,000 words (excluding references),

We advise you to contact your home institution first to inquire about the recognition of ECTS points acknowledged by the University of Mannheim for regular attendance and the above-mentioned course workload.

Please also note that you will be charged an administrative fee of EUR 70 per course to cover costs for grading by lecturers and additional administrative work by GESIS Training staff.
