English compact course for disputation preparation

The compact course supports doctoral candidates in preparing for the defense of their dissertation. After a short input, it offers space for questions and exchange with the trainer and participants. Topics covered include organizational basics, selection and preparation of content, presentation planning, and strategies for dealing with stress and difficult questions. The aim is for participants to leave the course feeling more confident about defending their own dissertation.

The trainer is Dr Alexander Egeling, a certified trainer and coach with more than ten years of experience in the key areas of management, career planning, and communication.

Further information and registration details can be found on our event page.

Another compact course in German will take place on 2 December 2026. In addition, the university offers a extensive defence training on 15 and 16 October 2026 in English (in presence).
