How it works
Choose your licence plan, activate your students and get started!
With your individual license package, you can make selected courses or the entire course portfolio available to your target group easily and flexibly. Integration with your own learning management system is also possible.
Seminar offer
In addition to the courses on our platform, we also offer a wide range of seminars as live online training or as face-to-face events on site.
Targeted and needs-based qualification
Key competences for each career level
Each phase of a doctoral career has its own challenges and requires different competences to address them more or less intensively.
This is why our courses are designed to meet the specific needs and challenges of the different stages of an academic career.
With our course portfolio we support you in offering a holistic competence model for your target groups, which provides needs-oriented and targeted support where it is necessary.
