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 enrollment 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 faculties. 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. Benefit from a more extensive vocabulary 2. Easily distinguish between the language needed for written and for oral communication 3. Identify and avoid common errors 4. Hypothesize and speculate about their work 5. Confidently discuss and argue their points Content Practice is pivotal to success. This one-day course gives you the opportunity to ‘revisit’ and practice points from previous courses or visit and practice them for the first time. Participants are requested to send an Abstract prior to the course day. The Abstracts will form the material for various written and oral learning points and practices. Points will be introduced and explained, and you will have the opportunity for extensive practice in small groups in a relaxed environment. Here you can experiment with language, test yourself, make mistakes; it doesn’t matter. You will be guided and corrected as the day progresses and you will leave feeling much more confident about communicating your work. Participants PhD researchers who have attended an earlier Write and Talk course or any PhD researcher wishing to have a brief brush-up of their writing skills and wishing to practice discussing their work in small, informal, but professional, groups. The ability to speak English at an intermediate level, as a minimum, is a requirement.
