RTG-NCA meets MSc Students
Wednesday, 26.06.2019
To promote networking and exchange of experience between different stages of scientific education the RTG-NCA is organising an event that aims at bringing together current doctoral candidates of the RTG with M.Sc. candidates of the subject module "Neurobiology".
In an interactive session doctoral candidates will pitch their thesis topics (research foci, methodology, supervision, project relevance in the contemporary neuroscience, structured education programme) and will furthermore provide an insight to their tracks focusing on topics like:
1. What to consider during Master studies in preparation for a PhD
2. When to start looking for a PhD position
3. What do coordinated PhD programmes offer
4. What criteria are important when choosing a PhD programme
5. What to consider when choosing the research area of a Masters project
The event will offer ample time for scientific and strategic questions and informal exchange.
Venue: Seminar room 1st floor 1.007 –
Biocenter (Zülpicher Str. 47b, building 304)
