Aim and content

This is a generic course. This means that the course is reserved for PhD students at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences at UCPH. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at the Graduate School, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. After the enrolment deadline, available seats will be allocated to the waiting list.

The course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD students at graduate schools in the other Nordic countries. All other participants must pay the course fee.


Special rules apply for this course

The course is mandatory for PhD students in the graduate programmes DRA and MoMeD and therefore these PhD students have first priority. This means that all applicants will be put on the waiting list upon registration, and after deadline all participants will be notified whether they are given a seat.
Please note that this course is similar to the PhD course “Finishing your PhD and planning your future career” (course number starting with 3780)



Learning objectives

A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

1. familiarise him/herself with the most important tools for finishing the PhD
2. get an insight into important tools for planning his/her future career


Content

The challenges awaiting PhD candidates develop during the lifetime of the PhD. This course is designed for the challenges that typically arise about two years into the PhD. Over two days participants have the chance to plan the finishing of the PhD and the next steps in their career.

The main topic areas covered are:

Day 1 – Tools for finishing the PhD

- Planning the final stages of your PhD (Planning and time management using SMART goals, what does the timeline to the end of your PhD look like?)

- 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, hospital, and industry – which skills are needed?


Participants

PhD students who are around 2-2.5 years in their PhD project with priority to PhD students in MoMeD and DRA. 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.
