New video series: What makes the GESS special?

Two women sit across from each other at a white table, laughing, with two closed notebooks and a tablet. One wears an orange‑mustard blouse, the other a dark grey sweater. Text: “LEARNING INSTEAD OF COMPETING”; “Beyond excellence” (lower left).

We are launching a new video series, with a fresh episode every two weeks. Episode 1 is out now: A Cohort That Has Your Back.

Our program prioritizes collaboration over competition. In this episode, doctoral researchers and alumni explain how cohort meetups, feedback circles, and celebrating collective wins translate into stronger scholarship and a more rewarding doctoral journey.

Thinking of applying or choosing Mannheim? If you learn best with and from peers, you will fit right in.
