The Graduate Academy offers interdisciplinary workshops, consultations and career advice to Doctoral Candidates and Postdocs at the University of Tübingen. Next to this, we also offer three separate certificate programs on "Leadership in Academia, Industry & Society" (Postdocs, English), "Science Communication and Media Competence" (Postdocs, English) and “Science Management” (Postdocs and Doctoral Researchers, German). The certificate programs are year-long programs offering courses and coaching and lead to a certificate that reflects the additional interdisciplinary qualification gained. In this presentation we will shortly present the three programs and what they include, as well as when and how to apply for them.
