These days, academics must research, manage, teach and be able to get "the bigger picture". However, many skills relevant to professional life do not simply come naturally whilst undertaking doctoral studies. It must be acquired otherwise. This is why the Graduate Academy has a well-honed range of extra-disciplinary courses available for academics. We provide - in collaboration with other service facilities of Leibniz University Hannover- a programme of courses and events especially tailored for young academics.
Unless otherwise stated, all workshops are held in German. If an English-language workshop offer is required, do not hesitate to contact us. We are happy to try to implement this in consultation with the trainers and participants. Also, please do not hesitate to contact us for thematic workshops that are to be carried out for already established Ph.D. groups or other work teams (minimum 8 people).
Note: Generally, the Graduate Academy uses the “first come, first served” principle, so the participants for the workshops are placed in order of the incoming registrations! If not otherwise stated the course language is German.
Please refer to the chart below for suited target group and costs. More information for each workshop is provided by clicking on the workshop title.
If necessary, please check the possibility to use the childcare services for employees and students at Leibniz University for attending our events.
