Course leaders will receive an e-mail with a link to this site as the administration begins planning the course portfolio for the upcoming year. We kindly request that you complete the course information form below:
If your transferable skills PhD course has been held previously and there are no changes, please provide information on the course by:
Completing the course information form below with the required information incl. attaching the course description template. Please read the sections in the information form carefully, fill in the form in one take and submit it, as information cannot be submitted partly.
If you would like to suggest a new transferable skills PhD course or if you are planning changes to your PhD course, please contact the responsible person listed on this page.
In the course description, we kindly ask you to describe the course assessment criteria, i.e. what is expected from the course participants to be able to complete the course and get their diploma.
The template has been pre-filled with a criteria for completion set to 80 % attendance. If you have other/specific criteria for completion of the course (e.g. 100 % course participation, a final exam, a written paper, a presentation or something else) please fill out the description accordingly.
All GSNS and GSTS transferable skills PhD courses must be evaluated using the Graduate Schools’ standard evaluation questions. At the same time, it is important that the course lecturer is able to gather feedback on aspects that are unique to the individual PhD course and ensure that the evaluation reflects the specific content and teaching activities provided. For this reason, the evaluation template consists of seven standard questions provided by the Graduate Schools, plus up to five additional questions defined by the course lecturer. We strongly encourage you to make use of the opportunity to include your own questions.
All course evaluations are accessed, managed, and completed directly in Brightspace, AU’s Learning Management System. When your PhD course is being set up, the PhD Course Administration will create the course space in Brightspace and add the standard evaluation questions. Please remember to add your own (up to five) supplementary questions directly in the system.
Once the course has concluded, PhD students will complete the course evaluation in Brightspace, where course lecturers can also access and review the evaluation results.
We encourage you to highlight to your PhD students the importance of completing the course evaluation.
After completing the course description template, carefully review the sections in the information form below and fill them out. Note that the form must be completed and submitted in one go, as partial submissions are not allowed.
1 ECTS equals 25-30 hours of course participation and workload.
Hours that can be included in the calculation of ECTS are all course related activities such as preparation, lectures, practical exercises, group work, obligatory homework and exams. These hours must be stated in the form to the left.
