Complementary Skills
Ph.D. students of MAINZ will gain access to the post-graduate programme at the University of Mainz which will help them acquire fundamental key qualifications. This programme encompasses several modules, taught in English, which are offered on a regular basis. It includes seminars and workshops and supports a networking between doctoral students and peers from other departments with whom they would otherwise not become acquainted. The post graduate programme is comprised of several modules:
- Summer term: “The Foundations of the Philosophy of Science”, “Co-operation, Conflict and Communication”, “Scientific Writing”, “Scientific Publishing”, “Intercultural Communication”
- Winter term: “Information and Knowledge Management”, “Presentations und Rhetoric” (in German and in English), “Project, Time, and Self-Management” (in German and in English)
Additionally the graduate school is constantly developing customized courses to consolidate specific key qualifications and to integrate them into their own programmes in cooperation with the Centre of Quality Assurance and Development (ZQ) and the Bureau of the Women´s Representative. For example women have the opportunity to take part in programmes of the “Coaching Centre for Young Women Researchers”.
