Studies show that PhD students are confronted with special challenges and a high level of stress. This puts them at a higher risk of mental illness than other population groups. In cooperation with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the TK has developed an adaptation of the stress management training “TK-MentalStrategien - Pflichtfach für starke Nerven” for students for the target group of doctoral candidates.
The “TK-MentalStrategien - Gelassen zur Promotion” training is characterized by its high practical relevance and is specially tailored to the everyday research routine and challenges of doctoral candidates.
Doctoral candidates are provided with helpful strategies for dealing with the inevitable stress during the doctoral period in a healthy and constructive way - these are also indispensable skills in professional life. In this respect, the training makes a preventative contribution to a successful academic career.
In an initial evaluation of the training, 90% of participants stated that they were fairly or very satisfied with the training.

Everyone has different inner voices - sometimes they motivate us, sometimes they slow us down. The Inner Team model, developed by Friedemann Schulz von Thun, helps us to consciously perceive these inner parts, understand their messages and resolve inner conflicts.
In this interactive seminar, students learn to uncover their own inner team and use it in a targeted manner. By consciously working with personal components, clarity is brought to decision-making processes, self-doubt is reduced and one's own inner voice is strengthened. This method is particularly helpful in stressful situations, exam anxiety, professional orientation or personal conflicts.
Advantages of the inner team: ✅ Clear decision-making and inner balance ✅ Better handling of self-doubt and insecurities ✅ Effective self-management in challenging situations ✅ Greater understanding of your own needs and goals
In the seminar, participants receive practical instructions and techniques to set up their own Inner Team and work with it sustainably. A valuable tool for your studies, career and personal development!
There are always a lot of tasks to complete during your studies. And there also has to be time for leisure activities, hobbies and part-time jobs. Simple time management tools can bring structure to the chaos and reduce stress. This allows tasks to be completed more efficiently and goals to be achieved more quickly without losing motivation in between. In this online training course, you will learn how to set priorities, deal with distractions and interruptions, plan work tasks in a targeted manner and tackle homework or exam material in a focused and relaxed manner.
Athletic and functional training has become increasingly important over time. Initially, this form of training was ridiculed. Thanks to (sports) scientific findings, athletic training is now an integral part of many individual and team sports. But what exactly is hidden behind the term “athletic training” and how can we train athletically for specific sports and everyday life? These and other questions will be answered in the “Athletic training” seminar.
