PhD Courses in Denmark

The course is set up as a seminar series. Students will participate in seminar sessions, which involve presentations of ongoing research, discussing selected articles, and engaging with peers and guests Each student participating in the course will present once every semester. Students can present their own PhD research, as well as a scientific topic related to their research. Each student participating in the course will design and chair a seminar session once every two semesters Through presentations and discussions, students will learn to put their research into a broader context, understanding how different fields within marine science interconnect.

A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

• Explain the key aims and objectives of their research project(s).
• Compare Experimental, technological and modeling techniques commonly used in marine science and evaluate which is most appropriate to address a scientific question.
• Determine the scientific and applied (societal) aspects related to their research project(s).
• Apply communication skills to present and defend their research findings orally.
• Analyze emerging issues shaping the future of marine research.
• Evaluate methodological concerns of their own research projects(s) in response to feedback from peers and Pls.
• Evaluate how their own research contributes to the broader field of marine science.
• Design a scientific session, including managing time and prioritizing audience questions.

The course will equip PhD students with advanced knowledge across a range of aquatic research disciplines, including oceanography, food web interactions, ecophysiology, fisheries management, aquaculture and fisheries technology, and ecological modelling. The students will gain understanding of these concepts through discussions of selected articles, presentations of their own PhD research, and presentations by other early career scientists and PI’s. This will provide students with interdisciplinary competences and the ability to put their own research work into a broader context. Students will be responsible for chairing one session each semester.
