A PhD study from the Doctoral School in Medicine, Biomedical Science and Technology is not only an outstanding achievement, but also a springboard for future development. It is so that many PhD students will pursue their career in other research and innovation environment like industry, hospital, and public organization. It is thus of extreme relevance to plan your career development based on priorities, possibilities, and goals during your PhD study. The objective of this PhD course is to provide PhD students with tools that can help you to make a career development plan.

This one-day course will explore requirements of pursuing a career within academia as well as within medicine, industry and elsewhere.

You will also have the possibility to start working on how to improve your impact and gain experience with creating an effective academic profile through your CV, online presence, and a dissemination plan. As part of these reflections, AAU can offer career profile test and an individual career talk.

Important information concerning PhD courses: We have over some time experienced problems with no-shows 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 3000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before the 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 registration.

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