Remember that all courses and other activities from which you get ECTS credits must be listed in MyPhD. Find more info about registration at the bottom of this page.
The mandatory course Introduction to Science Teaching is offered locally at CS (only for computer science students) and centrally at GSNS (for all NAT PhD students). We recommend that you choose the CS version as it is more tailored for the courses taught at the department. Please note, that you have to take both modules.
Also, it is recommendable to complete Introduction to Science Teaching as early as possible in your PhD program.
