Description
In this workshop the student will acquire communication skills of a high and academic level. The student will learn the usual formats in which academic research is presented. The course will work with the student´s own research material of their thesis. The aim of the course is to train to communicate these results in different formats. For example a conference: to orally present the research findings to an academic audience, and to learn the requirements for a PhD research proposal, and the criteria for publication in a scientific journal, and the format for a funding application. At the end of the course, the student will choose one of the writing formats as a final assignment. The student will recognize the relevance and potential of these academic skills for his/her professional future.
