This School is intended to provide research skills by allowing students to attend courses offered to POLITO and POLIMI PhD Schools.
This school is recommended to students who are interested in academic research and in applying for a PhD position after graduation.

Within this School, students will have to attend 4 modules in total to be chosen among:

(i) 1 to 2 MOOC courses from the POLITO PhD School;
(ii) 2 to 3 lectures from the “research Skills” POLIMI PhD School.

In this module students have the unique opportunity to work on their leadership skills.

In small groups, under the guidance of professional skills trainers, you will practice five skills: giving feedback, negotiating, pitching, debating and arguing, and diversity management. The skills exercises are interesting for anyone who now or in the future likes to lead teams – and later perhaps also larger units.
