Aim and content
Please note: 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 waiting list for the course until enrollment deadline. After the deadline, available seats will be allocated to students on the waiting list.

The challenges awaiting Ph.D. candidates develop during the lifetime of the Ph.D. This course is designed for the challenges that typically arise about two years into the Ph.D.

Over two days participants have the chance to take a step back and think more strategically about their research and the next steps in their career.

The main topic areas covered are:

Project management (Tools and ideas to help you take ownership of the project; you learn to apply these tools directly to your own project during the course)
• More advanced time planning and check-up on what we’ve done in Course 1
• strategic planning – tools that help you to look beyond a one-year-horizon
• How to identify and manage the various stakeholders in the project
• Identify and deal with sources of poor quality in the project
Collaborations and tutoring
• Keeping collaborations running smoothly
• Handling conflicts
• Sharing knowledge, information and data
• Tools to make tutoring more productive (in addition to the time management and PM tools they already have)
o how to delegate effectively,
o how to help them solve their own problems, rather than solving them for them,
o asking questions that get them to think
Career development
• Strategic career planning (develop awareness that you need to plan)
o Have you got what it takes to succeed in academia?
o What options have you outside academia?
o Who should you talk to?
o How do you need to develop yourself to prepare for a new position?
• securing funding – a tool to help you craft an effective story about your idea
