Mission complete for first Graduate School students

Historian and Ethnologist Christoph Nübel is the first PhD candidate at the Graduate School who has reached the degree. Christoph passed his disputation on May 11. This also makes him the first researcher from the humanities who has graduated within Kiel's Excellence Initiative institutions. His PhD project was about “Warscapes – Experiencing spaces and landscapes in the First World War”.

Just two days later, the Graduate School had its second degree holder. Archaeologist Aikaterini Glykou passed her disputation on May 13. “Neustadt, a late Mesolithic-Ertebölle and early Neolithic Funnel Beaker submerged site: research on the subsistence strategy of the last hunters, foragers and fishers of the Baltic Coast of Northern Germany” was the title of her PhD project. The Graduate School staff congratulates Christoph and Aikaterini on successfully finishing their PhD studies.
