Transferable skills training

As part of your doctoral studies you are expected to reflect on your competences and acquire skills included in the learning outcomes of your programme. Transferable skills can be acquired either by work experience or developed via training.

Both courses and training events are provided specifically for doctoral students. The bigger courses include several skills, some 6 ETC courses can be divided into smaller modules. Centres for Doctoral Studies and the Office of Academic Affairs provide shorter trainings for those interested in a quicker overview of a particular topic.

Doctoral students employed by the University of Tartu can explore the various options by the HR department in their in-service training calendar. More information and registration in the in-service calendar or by e-mail at raivo.valk@ut.ee. HR offers include leadership training, seminars, and a leadership programme (mostly in Estonian). 

The counselling centre conducts seminars to acquire study skills, take care of your mental health and support the planning of work life.
