This face to face course is run by the Researcher Academy

The Researcher Academy courses are very popular and the majority are run in both semesters to give you the opportunity to attend at a time of the year that suits you. 

Target audience: PGR'S/ECR'S at any stage

Description: 

The postgraduate research journey is one that is often punctuated by moments of excitement, trepidation, perseverance, uncertainty and celebration. It is a journey that is, in many ways, unique for all of us but certainly takes us on a path of self-discovery. Come along to hear about my PhD experience and academic career so far and about the lessons learned along the way. This session will give you the chance to connect with your postgraduate research colleagues, from across the faculties, and engage in open discussions about the ups and downs that can be experienced and the tips and support available to overcome those common challenges.

We are having individual wellbeing drop-in sessions in the Sutton Bonington Graduate Centre (10am-3pm) with our colleagues from the Support and Wellbeing service. No need to book an appointment, just turn up!  

Speaker: Dr Toshana Foster, Associate Professor, Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences
