English is and remains the number 1 tool for international communication, not only but also in Academia.

Therefore, the dok(international)FORUM provides a special format for doctorate candidates to improve their international communication skills for their academic and professional careers.

In this format, you can learn all the necessary skills to use appropriate, real English in every situation: socializing and networking, presenting and discussing, and also writing and publishing - remember, international journals or conference organisers will not accept “Denglish”.

At the same time, you will be able to prepare for the Cambridge C1 Advanced Certificate, the internationally most widely accepted and required language certificate, which will enable you to apply for jobs, research, or teaching positions anywhere in the English-speaking world.

To top it all off, you can also obtain up to 3 CPs for regular participation (1 CP for each 8 sessions visited).

You can start any time as the curriculum is continuous.
