Doctoral Courses
SUM offers multidisciplinary and international doctoral courses originating in the center's ongoing research.
SUM's doctoral courses accept applications from all PhD students and sometimes also specialist practitioners.
For members of SUM Research School:
-
Work in progress discussion seminars
During these sessions, students present and obtain feedback on their respective texts and provide critical-constructive comments on other students' work. Senior researchers may also be involved in giving feedback to the presentations.
-
Monthly training sessions
Through our monthly workshops, SUM Research School seek to develop doctoral students' professional skills related to teaching, media and communication, publishing, policy relevance, research ethics etc. The programme is developed from student demand.
- Postdoc seminars and meetings
We organize seminars and meetings through the year to facilitate for furthering SUM's postdoctoral research fellows’ understanding of the researcher role and competence as such, while also facilitating for exchange of views and experience among colleagues.
