Research communication courses at Movi for doctoral students

After completing your doctoral studies, you will work as an expert in your field, communicating with different audiences within and outside academia. This requires not just effective communication skills but also independent and critical thought. The courses designed for doctoral students aim to equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to become successful writers and orators in a range of relevant genres. In addition to gaining a better grasp of the dominant academic norms and practices, you will increase your awareness of broader issues in academia. As a result, you will make more informed decisions that are better aligned with your personal values, interests, and goals.
