ABOUT THIS COURSE

Learn evidence-based strategies for emotional resilience and supervision that will help you finish your PhD or research degree.

COURSE FORMAT

This course is primarily designed for masters, PhD, and research students and the academics who are tasked with helping them, but you may also be a family member or friend of a PhD student who is seeking to better understand what your loved one is going through.

By directly addressing the emotional issues, and by helping us see the connections between emotional resilience and success, this course aims to help us all create a more supportive academic environment, where students can do their best research work.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Understand the common emotional experiences of research students and why they tend to have emotional issues in common.
  • Discuss and create strategies and approaches to help research students cope with the emotional challenges of research study.
  • Help academics and prospective academics become more effective research supervisors.

PREREQUISITES

  • Familiarity with the basic concept of research study (such as Honours, Masters, or PhD processes).
  • Some insider knowledge of academic life and tertiary education is advantageous, but not essential.
