Generic competences - course offer
Below is an overview of the available training in generic competences, open to PhD students and/or postdocs at UHasselt. Generic competences encompass skills, knowledge and attitudes which are not only relevant in an academic research context, but may also be transferred to non-academic work environments. For that reason, they are sometimes also referred to as 'transferable skills'.
You can filter the course offer on the target group and on the targeted doctoral school(s). In the future, you will also be able to filter on the competency cluster(s) addressed (based on the UHasselt competency overview for PhD holders).
Activities are added to the overview below as soon as a date has been set. For activities entailing multiple sessions, the date mentioned in the first column indicates the start date. The duration is mentioned between brackets. All courses are in English, except when explicitly stated otherwise.
In addition to the courses below, please also check our course offer aimed at developing academic research competences, our activities aimed at career development, and the course offer of our partners.
