As a doctoral student, you know your own needs best and we are happy to accommodate individual topic requests. These may also be topics that are only relevant to individual subject areas. Find 5 or more like-minded people who are interested in the topic and contact us! 

Individual Consultation:

Intellectual Property Right Protection (IPR)

The prerequisite for individual counselling on the topics "Proofreading" and "Statistics" is prior attendance of the corresponding courses "English Writing Day" and "Statistics in a Nutshell".
