How To Go Further?

• These training opportunities are organised as part of research projects or by R&D groups and are funded, so they are not recurrent. They operate in e-learning (fully distance learning) or b-learning format, with an online component for asynchronous exploration of materials and synchronous activities, as well as a face-to-face component for practical application of the theoretical knowledge acquired and skills development. The programme usually consists of around 12 face-to-face hours and does not necessarily award ECTS or include formal assessment. These courses address transversal skills transferable to future doctoral careers and are available to all doctoral students, regardless of their field of study.
  
• The face-to-face component can take place at the University of Porto or in another European country, with travelling expenses to attend this component covered by project funding. The language of instruction is English and certification is issued by the higher education institution hosting the face-to-face component. The issuance of digital credentials may be considered and such training may be included in the diploma supplement.

• The University of Porto offers courses on transversal and transferable skills relevant to future doctoral careers and are available to all doctoral students, regardless of their field of study. Normally, the training takes place on a face-to-face basis, with materials available online for exploration during the course. These recurrent opportunities with a registration period take place at one of the Faculties of the University of Porto, covering both theoretical and practical content. The course programme can be in English or Portuguese and has a typical workload of around 12 face-to-face hours and 22 hours of self-study, equivalent to 1 or 1.5 ECTS, or approximately 24 face-to-face hours, corresponding to 3 ECTS. These courses are assessed and credited. Students can enrol through a specific plan, credit the courses in their study plans afterwards or attend them extracurricularly. In addition, it is possible to include these courses in the diploma supplement.

• These programmes are intensive and challenge-based, always in b-learning format. They consist of an online component for asynchronous exploration of materials and synchronous activities, complemented by a face-to-face component for practical application of theoretical knowledge and development of competences, thus demonstrating their acquisition and improvement. The programme usually has a workload of approximately 12 face-to-face hours and includes assessment, awarding ECTS credits.
  
• The focus of these programmes is the development of transversal skills transferable to future doctoral careers. The face-to-face component can take place at the University of Porto or in another European country, with students' travel expenses to participate in this component being covered by the ERASMUS programme through grants. The language of instruction is English and certification is granted by the higher education institution hosting the face-to-face component of the programme. These courses can be included in the diploma supplement, providing official recognition of the skills acquired during the doctoral course. An example of this type of programme is the SGroup BIP on Doctoral Education.
