Getting Started. The Successful Path to a Doctorate Degree

As a PhD candidate you are the project manager of your own PhD project. This workshop supplies you with the tools you need in order to plan and execute your doctoral project as effectively and efficiently as possible. You discuss and test basic strategies and techniques of a good project- and time-management. This allows you to organize yourself and your workload in better ways.
