The University organises cross-disciplinary teaching activities annually, allowing students to acquire skills that go beyond the specialised knowledge of their specific doctoral programme.
The cross-disciplinary teaching activities are organised in the following thematic areas:
- Linguistic further training
- Computer enhancement
- Research management and knowledge of national and international research systems
- Valorisation of research results and intellectual property
- Ethics
- Communication techniques
- Professional development
- Safety
As part of the cross-disciplinary teaching activities, it is mandatory to acquire at least 1 credit in the area of the Third Mission.
Doctoral students may attend cross-disciplinary courses organised by other universities/research institutions/companies. In such cases, the Academic Board will assess the suitability of the courses and determine the number of credits to be awarded.
