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 NorDoc member universities. All other participants must pay the course fee.


Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
1. get skills on how to present oneself adequately
2. communicate one’s concerns effectively


Content
Whether small talk or academic subject presentation – the ability to present oneself adequately and to communicate one’s concerns effectively is a deciding factor of career related success in academia.
With a few fundamental strategies for communication and presentation techniques it is possible to illustrate complex data in a context relevant way, to convince others, to win supporters and thus reach the respectively set goals.
In this course the participants engage with their personal communication strategies. Through exercises and role-plays they familiarise themselves with established presentation techniques and train their communicative competencies. The online course offers both synchronous and asynchronous elements: Live in-person lectures provide content and the opportunity for questions, both online and offline exercises allow participants to apply the theory, and in online group discussions, participants can share their experience. Finally, the online course offers the opportunity for individual “meetings” with the trainer. The following topics are covered:
- Communication basics: Good communication presumes set goals
- Presentation basics: Preparation is key
- Go public – go scientific! The context makes the difference
- Everything under control? Dealing with difficult situations
- Role-play: Presentation situations in practice
- Minima rhetorica: Tips & tricks on the art of oratory
- Communication & presentation: My next steps
