As a PhD student at the beginning of your research, you need to become familiar with your research area in a short time and learn how to determine the path you will follow. In this training you will learn to set your own goals, develop a strategy to achieve them and communicate about them with others.
The training covers the following:
- Time and project management
- Communicating effectively with others
- Presentation
This intensive training is largely based on practical exercises. You learn by carrying out assignments and applying what you have learned in your own work situation. Attention is paid to personal learning goals and you receive personal feedback on the exercises. You are given small assignments so that you can apply what you have learned.
Practical information and registration
The training is given in English. The training takes place over a period of about 6 weeks and consists of 6 sessions. With all participants, intake interviews are held to align their issues with the content of the training and to discuss how you can actively participate. More information and registration.
