As a part of their teaching responsibilities, PhD-students sometimes act as co-supervisors for undergraduate students’ bachelor projects, written assignments, master thesis, or research year assignments. In doing so, the PhD-students play an important role as a near-peer-supervisor guiding the students in their learning. This course aims to prepare PhD-students for their role as co-supervisors on undergraduate students’ assignments and/or learning processes. 

Short description

Half-way in your PhD, you now know what being a PhD student really is about. It is also a turning point where questions such as “what options do I have”, “how can I make the most of my doctoral degree” and  “how do I make a sensible choice for my future career “ may start to pop up and cause both excitement and concern. This workshop aims at giving you the tools to answer those questions and to support you in being able to make an informed choice for the next step in your career. In the workshop, you will consider 1. your professional development so far and whether there competences you would like to improve during your part b, and 2. How you can start preparing for the transition by building your network, understanding your options and increasing your awareness of what a “good” job/work life is to you.

Short description

The course aims to provide students with the skills necessary to critically use the qualitative software programme NVivo and to train the students in using NVivo to organise and analyse different types of qualitative data.

NVivo is a software programme for data analysis, which is useful for organising and analysing large quantities of qualitative data. Qualitative data covers a range of different data such as data from interviews, focus groups, field observations, videos, pictures, journal articles and web pages. NVivo can be used in different types of research including data analysis based on e.g. content analysis, grounded theory, discourse analysis, and taxonomic analysis. Furthermore, it is useful in systematic reviews, e.g. meta-synthesis and mixed methods reviews.

In this workshop, we make the objectives of the PhD education explicit and equip students with strategies and tools to develop as independent scientists. In session 1, we discuss the skills and competences of a PhD – and their importance to society. In session 2, students present their research projects in small, cross-departmental groups and for each project discuss the opportunities for developing independence. Session 3 has a focus on the collaboration with supervisors and presents ways to negotiate roles and address progression during the education.
