Welcome to Introductory Course for New PhD Students online 2021



Description:

Being a PhD student – motivation, coping strategies and organisational set-up

The purpose of this course is to give PhD students further insight into being a PhD student in general and specifically at the Doctoral School of Humanities and to share experiences on motivation, coping strategies and the general ups and downs of PhD studies. Participants will be given an introduction to the organizational set-up, daily work and development goals of the Doctoral School of Humanities, before the course moves into a presentation and discussion on motivation, coping strategies and getting the best out of being a PhD student. The course is mainly aimed at recently enrolled PhD students (within the last year) but all PhDs are welcome.
