http://paginas.fe.up.pt/~lea/transferable-skills-for-engineering-eng/

These courses  (see in the program the list of courses available)  can be attended by PhD students aiming at:

1. additional training

or

2. credited in the PDEEC ‘Seminars’

Together with the selected training courses on TSE the students can complete the 7.5 ECTS by carrying out work equivalent to 1.5 ECTS with a supervisor or tutor in a topic of interest for the student future research work

Learning outcomes and competences
