Teaching Workshop: Advanced Philosophical Workshop 4

Students intending to apply for a doctorate will be able to exchange views with university lecturers in order to receive constructive criticism. Each student will have the opportunity to engage with at least one lecturer both in class, while presenting the lines around which he/she intends to develop his/her research, and in a private exchange, where he/she can receive comments on the written project. Each student will also have the opportunity to attend other students' presentations, learning from the merits and limitations of their colleagues. The workshop aims to provide students with the tools to assess the merits and limitations of their research skills and make an informed decision on whether to submit to PhD competitions.
