Transferable Skills

Transferable Skills – Schlüsselqualifikationen für die universitäre und ausseruniversitäre Laufbahn

  • individuelles Feedback von Expertinnen und Experten
  • intensives Lernen in kleinen Gruppen
  • fächerübergreifende Vernetzung

Transferable Skills sind Kompetenzen, die man in einem Kontext erwirbt und dann in verschiedenen Kontexten, Jobs, Positionen, Funktionen oder Aufgabenbereichen einsetzen kann. Beispielsweise braucht man sowohl im Forschungskontext als auch in anderen Bereichen (Bauvorhaben, Entwicklungsprojekt, Werbe- oder Wahlkampagne) ein gutes Projektmanagement.
