Bielefeld University offers not only excellent conditions for academic research, but also an extensive general skills programme that prepares young researchers for varying career paths in and outside academia. The courses and events on offer range from training courses for teaching through to generic skills courses such as knowledge transfer or conflict management through to workshops on third-party funding schemes and research programmes.
More information on the staff development programme for research and teaching staff with an overview of the further training courses and advisory possibilities available to graduate researchers and teachers at Bielefeld University is available here.
