Courses Transferable Skills

As well as earning an academic qualification, i.e. the thesis, the goal of a PhD education at the University of Bern is to acquire transferable skills so as to prepare PhD candidates for a demanding position within or outside academia.

The course program Transferable Skills is a project of the Vice-Rectorate Development within the scope of the sub-strategy of the targeted promotion of the academics of the future of the university's Strategy 2021. 

The course program is free of charge for postdocs and doctoral candidates of the University of Bern.

In addition, several other bodies of the University of Bern offer various courses dedicated to transferable skills and other academic offers for doctoral candidates and/or postdocs:
