Introduction:


Hello,
Welcome to the Autumn 2024 offering of the Professional Communications course for PhD students at Aalborg University.

Communication is a core skill for all professionals, and the ability to convey complex information is essential for success in a PhD and beyond.  There are many dimensions to effective communication; this course is intended to help PhD students become aware of those dimensions, and to develop their competencies to prepare them for communicating in research contexts. 

Presenting at a scientific conference is a common feature of the PhD experience, and as such it will be used as the case study for this course.  Participants will work through the context of a public presentation, considering the format, the poster and/or slides to support such a talk, the social media environment to share such a talk, and the skills involved in delivering the talk itself.  Finally, the course will give participants a change to implement these skills and to receive peer feedback on their efforts.

The course will combine both theory and practice, sharing underpinning concepts as well as practical advice on how to become comfortable with communicating in a professional research context.

The course will be held over three full days, Wednesday 6. to Friday 8. November. The venue for the course is the CREATE Building, Rendsburggade 14, Aalborg.

On Wednesday we are in Room: 3.563

Thursday / Friday we are in Room: 4.517

Friday we are also in Room: 3.529

The course is worth 2.5 ECTS.

I look forward to seeing you all there.

Prof Euan Lindsay


NB This course is only for PhD Students at Aalborg University

Important information concerning PhD courses:

We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3.000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.

For inquiries regarding registration, cancellation or waiting list, please contact the PhD administration, aauphd@adm.aau.dk
