KHYS – Further Education Program – Be Prepared for Practical Situations

Interdisciplinary competences are required in all professions and represent a decisive career component during and after the doctoral and postdoc phases.
KHYS offers its members a broad spectrum of quality-assured further education programs – in cooperation with other KIT institutions as well as with well-established external trainers.
The qualification courses are partly funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science as part of the Excellence Strategy of the German Federal and State Governments as well as by the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association.
The KHYS Further Education Program includes the modules Research & Communication, Management, Promotion & Career as well as Language Courses. You will find an overview of the entire range of courses in the following, thematically structured overview.
