ONLINE: PhD Breakaway [for mid-stream PhD students] Part Two

 

About this workshop

This is Part 2 of a 3-part online workshop series, designed to stimulate the development of a vibrant intellectual community of mid-stream PhD students across disciplinary and institutional lines at UCT and to provide information pertinent to PhD students in their second or third year of study.

 

The topics to be covered in this workshop are:

  • Managing your PhD project over time, from proposal to submission
  • Embracing the student-supervisor relationship – getting it right, or wrong?

 

We look forward to meeting many of you at the workshop and learning of your experiences as a postgraduate student at UCT. This will be very helpful in future planning as we continue to examine ways in which the University can enhance the quality of the doctoral experience and extent of the support for PhDs on our Campus.

 

What previous attendees have said about this workshop:

  • “It was really fantastic!”
  • “Thank you for organizing this, and to all the speakers who came to speak to us. This was amazing. I have gained new insights and believe this will help me with new ways of doing things. Truly this was like an injection of enthusiasm and energy.”
  • “This will help massively; it will stimulate me to read more often and will help head off persistent negative moods.”
