Course offer transferable competencies
Courses and workshops for doctoral students
What are transferable competencies at ETH?
ETH Zurich integrates the fostering of transferable competencies (method-specific, social and personal competencies) to allow doctoral students to develop and apply their subject-specific expertise. On the Competencies at ETH Zurich website, you find an overview of these competencies and how to find support to develop them at ETH.
The courses listed below are a few examples of the entire offers available for doctoral students:
- Teaching courses
- Language courses
- Project and time management, and communication
- Career planning
- Promoting wellbeing
- Information and data literacy
- Science communication
- Ethics and good scientific practice
Do I get ECTS-credits from courses on transferable competencies?
Unless your department recognises these courses as part of the doctoral studies, completing these courses does not confer credits valid for your doctoral studies.
Please read the terms and conditions (e.g., registration, cost, cancellation policy) relative to each course carefully.
