Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The joint Master and PhD Seminar aims at gaining professional skills in elaborating, presenting and reflecting critical on a selected research topic (e.g. master thesis). Hereby, Master students can take advantage form the experience of the PhDs and PhDs practise constructive feedback.

The seminar is divided into two parts. Every two weeks tuesdays the regular Master conversatory will take place with Master students and PhDs. An extra seminar day is currently being planned for the PhDs (date to be announced). Master students are gladly invited as well. However, they don't have to take part as they can only aquire 2 ECTs, while PhDs 4 ECTs

Content:
The course will identify and elaborate major themes at the research frontier of geomorphology.

Methods:
Participants will present their scientific aspirations, concepts and results in 20 min presentations. The works will be discussed regarding general questions, scientific relevance and importance for geomorphology.
Participants may also report on relevant topics to which they have been introduced at conferences, which they have attended and will discuss these in terms of their importance for geomorphology in general, for the ENGAGE Geomorphology Group within Physical Geography and for individual degree programmes.

All interested graduates, post-graduates, tutors and teaching assistants are invited to participate.
