Courses for PhD candidates at the Faculty of Science
As part of the Graduate School programme, all PhD candidates can participate in the following three courses.
| Courses | Trainer / Lecturer | Study load |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Didactic Skills PhD-candidates in the Faculty of Science are often engaged in teaching activities, like individual supervision and small group teaching (practicals, tutorials, exercise classes etc.). In this course, you will learn about the basics of teaching in a workgroup or practical setting and during internship supervision. |
Lennert van Tilburg | 12 hrs. |
| Scientific Ethics and Integrity Scientific integrity is high on the agenda of universities these days. There is a perception that the number of scientific scandals is on the rise, that the image of science is getting under additional pressure because of this, and that strict measures and procedures are needed. And how do scientists themselves understand and conceptualise concepts like ‘integrity’, ‘misconduct’, ‘good science’. |
Luca Consoli | 12 hrs. |
| Find, manage and publish academic literature The Library of Science has constructed a course regarding searching, finding, managing, reusing and publishing scientific literature. Besides the basics, we also address Open Access and Research Data Management, since these topics are becoming more and more important for the visibility and dissemination of the outcome of your research. |
Marieke van der Eerden | 12 hrs. |
