16.11.2021: PhD Navigator - A course through the German Academic System

Doing a PhD in Germany brings a lot of challenges – the most important one is to understand the German academic system and the course of a PhD in Germany. This training explains the hidden rules of the academic system in Germany. It provides insight in formalities, rules, phases, time-lines, tasks and common pitfalls to draw a clearer picture of a PhD project and what is expected from a PhD candidate. A reflective view about communication and relations to supervisors, colleagues and other co-workers will support a greater understanding of mutual expectations and how to get the support you need.
