A PhD is the next logical step for many people to further their scientific career after a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree. Doctoral training programmes are a chance to tailor your scientific knowledge into more niche areas, learn new and exciting techniques and find your feet in the field of research. There are numerous resources available about how to get, survive and achieve your PhD; but at some point, you have to start considering and focusing on life post-PhD. While achieving your PhD is a brilliant milestone, sadly it does not guarantee you your dream job. What is guaranteed, however, is that if you apply for positions in academia and likely in industry or science, in general, your competitors will also have a PhD. So, how do you make yourself stand out from the crowd? It is important to utilize your time during a PhD to make yourself more marketable in your chosen career path. Coming into the last year of my PhD, I am starting to consider my options in academia, industry and beyond and scrutinize my CV for inevitable gaps. Speaking to fellow PhD students, postdocs and people who moved away from research, I have picked up some useful advice that could help boost your CV and better prepare you for your future career.

Despite the academisation process the profession goes through in many western countries for decades, the level of autonomy of the nursing profession is still relatively low; nurses remain broadly under the domination of doctors and hospitals. The opening in 2009 at the University of Lausanne of a master’s degree marked a new stage in the history of the profession in Switzerland. With new resources, the emergence of this nurses’ profile disrupting professional relationships, both with respect to doctors as well as within the profession. After having presented the stakes of going through an academic training based on scientific knowledge, the article shows the attempt of redefinition of the practical and symbolic roles to which it gives rise as well as some of the effects of this diploma and its resources are having on the professional relationships.

A presente escritura é parte de uma pesquisa de mestrado em andamento, que problematiza o currículo de uma escola básica ribeirinha da Amazônia paraense a partir do pensamento da diferença do filósofo francês Gilles Deleuze. Os estudos teóricos acerca do currículo enquanto campo de conhecimento científico, as travessias pela Baía de Guajará e a investidura na escola como território de experimentação empírica mobilizaram a escrita desse artigo, que objetiva problematizar as potências de uma escola ribeirinha a partir da relação fronteiriça entre a escola, a Ilha do Combu e Belém do Pará. Desse modo, o estudo considera uma escola básica ribeirinha, como um território permeado por potências, por vida escolar e pelas vidas que nela circulam em sua força criadora e que, de modo peculiar, pulsam nessa ambiência que produz acontecimentos e multiplicidades. Nesse sentido, assume a cartografia como percurso metodológico, assumir tal caminho é como traçar um mapa móvel, no qual não cabe controlar as intensidades que o compõe, tampouco suas afetações intensivas e extensivas que dão vazão a dimensão rítmica do território no qual a vida escolar na Ilha do Combu pulsa. Problematizar potências de uma escola pela lente da cartografia implica operar com conceitos deleuzianos como território e multiplicidades, que no deslocamento conceitual que proponho realizar, contribuem para mobilizar o pensamento e colocar em questão o vitalismo que pulsa na escola e a faz território de resistências.Palavras-chave: Escola ribeirinha; Ilha do Combu; Educação básica. ABSTRACT: The present writing is part of an ongoing master's degree research, which problematizes the curriculum of a basic riverside school in the Amazon of Pará from the thought of the difference of the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. The theoretical studies about the curriculum as a field of scientific knowledge, the crossing of the Bay of Guajará and the investiture in the school as territory of experimentation mobilized the writing of this article, which aims to problematize the powers of a riverside school from the border relationship between the school , the Island of Combu and Belém do Pará. In this way, the study thinks of a basic riverside school, as a territory permeated by potencies, for school life and for the lives that circulate in its creative force and that, in a peculiar way, pulsate in this environment that produces events and multiplicities. In this sense, assuming cartography as a methodological course, assuming such a path is like drawing a mobile map, in which it is not possible to control the intensities that compose it, nor its intensive and extensive affectations that give vent to the rhythmic dimension of the territory in which school life on the Island of Combu pulsates. To problematize a school's powers through the lens of cartography implies working with Deleuzian concepts as territory and multiplicities, which in the conceptual displacement that I propose to carry out, contribute to mobilize the thought and question the vitalism that strikes the school and makes it a territory of resistances.Keywords: Riverside school; Island of Combu; Elementary school.

Abstract After giving a brief survey of traditional translator training in Germany, the paper will discuss the changes introduced by the Bologna process. All German universities are reorganizing their translator training programmes, replacing the four-year Diplom degree by modular courses leading to a Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree. Since legal regulations permit a variety of combinations with regard to duration, each German university is planning its own model. The main bone of contention in this process is the question of whether specialized translation should be taught at undergraduate or postgraduate level.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to better understand the experiences faced by students during the application process for master's degree programs in speech-language pathology. Method Data were collected through administering an online survey to 365 volunteers who had applied to master's degree programs in speech-language pathology. Survey questions were designed to gain the student perspective of the application process through exploration of students' deciding factors for top choices of graduate programs, emotional involvement in the application process, biases/rumors heard, student challenges, advice to future applicants, and what students would change about the application process. Results Factors that influenced participants' reasoning for selecting their “top choice” programs were largely consistent with previous studies. Issues that shaped the student experience applying to graduate school for speech-language pathology included financial constraints, concern regarding the prominence of metrics such as Graduate Record Examinations scores in the admissions process, a perceived lack of guidance and advising from faculty, and confusion regarding variation among graduate program requirements. Conclusion Gaining insight into the student experience with the application process for graduate programs in speech-language pathology yields useful information from a perspective not frequently explored in prior literature. While the data presented in this study suggest the process is confusing and challenging to many applicants, the discussion highlights practical solutions and sheds light on key issues that should be considered carefully by individual graduate programs as well as the field as a whole.
