People at the heart of the Ph.D

Summary

Doctoral students in their 1ère year will have to familiarize themselves with a stimulating and demanding environment. In the course of their studies, they will have to deal with previously unknown situations that may leave them in a vulnerable position. It is therefore important for them to be able to identify difficulties and use the appropriate resources to deal with them.

This course provides doctoral students with an understanding of how to build positive relationships with themselves and with others, whether colleagues or superiors, during their studies.

It helps to identify, cope with and mobilize internal resources to resolve human problems in the doctoral experience.
Equipped with the tools to deal with difficult situations, trainees will be able to approach their doctoral experience with greater peace of mind.
The module is essentially practical, and the trainer will facilitate role-playing exercises.
