Completing a PhD in time with a high-quality thesis is a major challenge that requires many other skills than strictly scientific and technical qualifications. Writing and communicating results effectively, working as a team, knowing what to do in case of conflict, managing a project and its timeline, interacting with promoters ... are examples of valuable skills that PhD students need to acquire. An additional reason for mastering these so-called "soft skills" is that they are transferable, and highly valued, also outside the academic world (transferable skills). It is important to prepare for it in time. The training programme for PhD students in the Health Sciences sector includes the acquisition of a minimum of 5 credits to formalize the learning of competences in different fields. Below you will find a set of links to the trainings available within the " UCL, the FNRS Thematic Schools (EDT), or elsewhere :
