Courses for doctoral students
After completing a doctoral degree, you will work as an expert within your own discipline and in society. Movi's short courses help doctoral students to successfully navigate their PhD studies and develop academic communication, interaction, and language skills through authentic learning opportunities. The courses provide individual support at each stage of this process whilst also creating an environment where participants can share their views and experiences and provide peer feedback.
