| Content | In the course, PhD students will work intensively on their PhD studies. The course is built on the principles of self-directed learning. Depending on the stage in the PhD process, students may work on the proposal development, testing of study tools, preparation of PhD thesis or defense etc. According to students needs we will craft input sessions. Students are expected to present their studies, to determine a learning plan for the three weeks block course and to define any demand for input from other students, such as peer review. Students have to regularly feed back on the learning journey. By the end of course, students will have to sit a final written exam. |
| Learning objectives | By the end of this course students will have learnt to 1) define learning goals, manage time and assess their achievements 2) explain and apply principles of cancer epidemiology in different study settings 3) create a presentation or text targeted to a pre-defined audience. |
