Program structure
The program consists of the basic module Leadership Skills or the Crash Course Leadership, in-depth workshops and lectures, a reflection task and consulting services. You will receive all the information about the certificate and discuss your individual requirements in a consultation.
The basic module is offered annually alternating set groups for professors and for all other executives at TU Dresden. It consists of three courses, which focus on the basics of team leadership and development as well as leadership communication. Participants complete all lectures in a set group. This achieves continuity in learning and supports networking with colleagues. As such, the basic module also serves to develop and expand active networking within TU Dresden. An introduction to peer advisory schemes encourages the participants to continue their discussion beyond the foundation module.
The leadership crash course is designed especially for executives who have no authority to issue instructions to other employees (e.g. project leaders) and provides insight into leadership basics and peer advidory schemes.
The advanced workshops provide application-oriented instruction on concrete leadership topics. You can register for individual workshops as suits your needs. Please note workshops are held in German.
As part of a reflection task, you will reflect on aspects of your leadership behavior that are relevant to you and set yourself goals for your day-to-day leadership. You will reflect on your results with an external coach in an individual coaching session.
The Center for Continuing Education will support you during the certificate program and is available for advice.
Further details on the certificate program can be found in the internal area.
