Aim and content
Special rules apply for this course.
The course is mandatory for PCAP students. This means that all applicants will be put on the waiting list upon registration, and after deadline all participants will be notified.
The course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School). All other participants must pay the course fee.

Learning objectives:
• To plan the final stage of the PhD project
• To learn methods to keep motivation up and procrastination down
• To implement Business Model You® to envision the next career step
• To understand the importance of networking

Content:
In this training, PhD students will learn methods to plan the final stage of their research project. These emphasize keeping motivation up, dealing with potential conflicts, focussing on the right priorities, and avoiding procrastination.
They will learn to use the Business Model You® approach. This model helps each person to clarify their interests, skills, own values, and abilities. They then can assess their value to potential employers. With this model in hand, they can plan their next career steps.
One of the most important factors to find the next job in science is networking. Part of the training will deal with this topic on different levels. The PhD students will assess their current network. They will work on strategies to expand their network. And they will be part of a group of peer students who they can rely on and network with.
At the end of the training they will have a detailed working plan for achieving the last milestones in their PhD project, and a clearer vision of the next career step.

The main topic areas covered are:

Day 1 – Tools for finishing the PhD
Planning the final stages of your PhD
Work-life balance (Dealing with/avoiding stress)
Handling conflicts
Keeping collaborations running after you leave the bench/lab
Practical planning before handing in your thesis; rules, regulations and responsibilities
How to coordinate the writing process in collaboration with your supervisor
How to write your thesis in practice – ideas and tips

Day 2 – Tools for planning your future career
Strategic career planning and personal strategies: Tools that help you look beyond a one-year horizon
Making career choices (industry vs academia – who can help you weigh-up your options?)
Networking and self-marketing
Fundraising
Job seeking in academia, from PhD to Post Doc – which skills are needed?

Participants
PCAP PhD students who are around 2-2.5 years in their PhD project will have first priority on this course. This means that all applicants will be put on the waiting list upon registration, and after deadline all participants will be notified.

The course is aligned with the PhD course Scientific Project planning and Management 1 to be taken at the beginning of the PhD studies. It does not make sense to take this course directly after the other.

The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH:

Clinical Cancer Research
Molecular Mechanisms of Disease
Pharmaceutical Sciences (Drug Research Academy)

Language
English
