Course content
SUND Summer School is a 3-day course that addresses aspects of research that relate to all PhD candidates, no matter what topic or method your project concerns.
The course combines lectures, workshops and time for social interaction.
The academic writing process
Writing is an essential part of life in research, but it is sometimes daunting. This topic includes two elements that will make writing less scary: 1) A part on thesis writing will help you prepare for writing your thesis and hopefully make you look forward to this rewarding academic experience instead of fearing it. We will discuss the formal requirements and describe the main models for structuring a thesis.
2) Developing your writing skills – this is not about structuring a paper but about your writing skills and establishing conditions that let you enjoy the process of becoming a better writer throughout your career.
Personal planning
Working in academics means you must deal with many tasks related to research, teaching, administration, clinical work, collaboration, and much more. Often you will be self-managing your time and trying to prioritise work tasks while balancing work with other parts of your life. During the Summer School, an interactive session, "Plan Better – Get more Time" will be a brush up on your planning habits.
While the summer school is designed to stimulate the mind and your academic interests, there is also plenty of time for social and physical activities, networking, and enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Svanninge.
