The courses offered in the PROOF program have been developed for all PhD students at the TU/e. In many cases the courses are given in a group, which means you also work with PhD students from other disciplines. This interaction gives you an insight into the work of other departments. And at the same time it will enable you to build up a personal network within the University.

The design of the PROOF program takes into account the various phases of your PhD project. The guideline for your personal development is the OBP (plan for training and support), which you draw up together with your supervisor. Based on these agreements, you can decide which training best matches your own personal and professional development. Of course it is also possible to join a PROOF course from another year if this matches with your development.

As you can see, the TU/e offers numerous opportunities for further personal development. It’s well worth taking advantage of these facilities. They will not only enable you to complete your PhD project more successfully, but it will also increase your chances on the employment market. The courses in the program have proved their value to PhD students, and we can warmly recommend them to you. We hope to see you in the PROOF courses!
