Getting Started. The Successful Path to a Doctorate Degree
As a PhD candidate you are the project manager of your own PhD project. This workshop supplies you with the tools you need in order to plan and execute your doctoral project as effectively and efficiently as possible. You discuss and test basic strategies and techniques of a good project- and time-management. This allows you to organize yourself and your workload in better ways. Based on your existing working habits, you will learn more about which type of worker you are and how you can further improve your working situation.
Depending on the interests of the participants we also deal with such topics as: How to write efficiently? How to communicate with your supervisor? How to deal with stress and crises? How to stay motivated?
