Challenges

What to do after your PhD?

The goal of this session is to systematically examine your own interests and abilities, as well as your own personality and the values that are important to you. This can help you to become clear about what kind of future careers you would like to pursue, whether they are in science or not. I took a similar course at university and would like to share with you the aspects that I found helpful. The way I see it, the course is structured so that I give you assignments and you work on them on your own to get to know yourself, your abilities, etc. After we have completed the tasks, we discuss our results and thoughts together. This systematic approach may make it easier for you to decide which field you would like to work in later.
