Stress Management Program for PhD Students | Pre-Registration

Why participate?

Doctoral studies can be incredibly rewarding, yet they come with significant stressors that can impact your well-being and productivity. This program aims to equip you with practical strategies and coping mechanisms to manage stress effectively, enhance your well-being, and support your success throughout your doctoral journey. You’ll learn to balance your academic, professional, and personal responsibilities more effectively while building a supportive community with fellow PhD students facing similar challenges.

The program, established by Techniker Krankenkasse (TK), is open to all international doctoral candidates, regardless of TK membership. It is led by a certified trainer in English and entirely free of charge. Upon successful completion, participants will receive a certificate.
