The Berlin Graduate School of Ancient Studies (BerGSAS) is home to five doctoral programs located at the Freie Universität Berlin and the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Each program includes traditional curricula, while at the same time breaking new ground by placing increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary research. BerGSAS has been awarded the "Einstein Doctoral Programme" prize of the Einstein Foundation Berlin in 2017 and 2023

The close cooperation with the non-university research facilities that constitute the Berliner Antike-Kolleg (BAK) (BBAW, DAI, MPIWG and SPK) is an innovative situation. Scholars conducting research at these institutions are usually affiliated with the universities through honorary professorships. They contribute both their scientific expertise and the resources of their research institutions to our doctoral programs. As a rule, they are linked to one of the universities through honorary professorships

The BerGSAS exchange programme offers the opportunity to spend a semester abroad at a top international university.

All of our doctoral programs are accredited at both the Dahlem Research School (DRS) and the Humboldt Graduate School (HGS).
