How do I know how I am doing?

The everyday as a PhD candidate can be overwhelming. Doing a PhD is a great personal investment. It can be stressful handling deadlines, critical reviews and refusals, large scale projects and the feeling that it is all on our own shoulders. And how do you even know how you are doing?

We welcome you to this course to build resilience, self-understanding and how to utilize feedback in a fruitful way.
