The seminar program of the Graduate Academy supports doctoral candidates in developing the skills and in obtaining the qualifications necessary to successfully accomplish their dissertations and to develop professional perspectives for their career in academia or in the private sector.

Beside the open course program for which doctoral candidates can register individually, we organize courses for structured doctoral programs. These courses are provided in cooperation with collaborators at the University as well as with qualified trainers.

Die Basis in diesem Workshop ist das vom Trainer entwickelte Stimmigkeits-System. Dieses berücksichtigt die drei wichtigsten Elemente für unsere mündliche Kommunikation: Stimme, Persönlichkeit und Botschaft.

Registration / Cancellation

 

The courses are only open to doctoral students who are registered at a faculty of Heidelberg University. Doctoral students who are registered at a foreign university but are in Heidelberg temporarily for research purposes can take part in the courses if they are matriculated as a visiting student or have a visiting scholar card (the card is available at the Welcome Centre).

Registration for the courses takes place through an online form found at the end of each course description.

 
Registration is binding. You can cancel your registration in writing (by email) up to 14 days before the course begins without penalty. Afterwards, we will have to retain your course fee unless you can provide a doctor’s certificate in the case of illness or we can fill your place with someone from the waiting list.
 
Important: If you do not attend a course for which you have registered and do not let us know in advance, you will automatically be put on the waiting list when you try to register for another course. If you are absent from a course a second time without excusing yourself in advance, you will be excluded from participating in our seminar program for 6 months.
 
Please keep in mind that we have waiting lists for many courses. If you register for a course and then fail to attend without giving notice, your place can not be filled even though there may be another doctoral student who needed or was interested in the course.
 

We expect participants to be present for the entire duration of the course. Exceptions can be made only after prior consultation with the Graduate Academy. We will issue certificates of participation only to those participants who have attended at least 80% of the course.

Fees

 

We charge a small fee for the courses, usually in the amount of 15 Euro per course day (exceptions are possible). This is a lump-sum fee that covers the costs for refreshments and course materials, among others. Any surplus which may arise flows back into the course program.

Several weeks before the course begins, you will receive a payment request containing the pertinent bank account and reference information. We ask you to pay the fee by bank transfer within one week.

We charge different fees for the German language courses. The regulations for these courses are found in the course description.
