Individual Consultations

Individual Consultation Hours

Within the framework of the GCSC/IPP Info Hub, you have the chance to arrange an individual consultation with up to two professors or potential supervisors of JLU to talk about your dissertation project or supervision structures. Previous attendees of the former GCSC Information Day have always very much appreciated this opportunity.

You can schedule your individual consultations for the second to fourth calendar week of 2025, from 8–29 January 2025. You find a list of professors who will be available for consultations below. Some have indicated that they are only available at a specific date and time, others could, in principle, offer several free slots throughout the week and will let you know about their availability once you have contacted them.

Please reach out for arranging your individual consultation until 20 December, 2024. 

 

Before you start reaching out, there are a couple of things to pay attention to when you are contacting them:

  • You may contact up to two potential professors/supervisors of JLU for a consultation.
  • You have to contact each professor/supervisor individually until 20 December 2024 at the latest.
  • When contacting, please refer to the Info Hub by using the subject «GCSC Info Hub – Individuelle Sprechstunde» or in English «GCSC Info Hub – Individual Consultation».
  • Please provide the professors/supervisors with some information about yourself, e.g., your previous studies, your dissertation project, etc.
  • In general, the allotted time for a consultation is 20 minutes. Some professors/supervisors might suggest talking a bit longer but it is up to their availability.
  • The session itself will be conducted either via a webroom like BigBlueButton/zoom/Teams, telephone or for those available in Giessen also in-person at the JLU campus. This is up to the professors’/supervisors’ preferences.
