Designed for part time Postgraduate Researchers in their middle years of research
The middle years of a research degree are sometimes the most challenging and exciting. This course is designed to help you stay motivated and continue to make progress in your thesis. It will focus in detail on the requirements of a doctorate (the hypothesis, the thesis structure and the assessment criteria); and help you action plan accordingly.
By the end of the workshop you will have:
- recognised the progress you have made so far and how this relates to your overall research project
- become aware or critical success factors for the middle years of a PhD and consider how you might develop and implement some of these
- understood the requirements of a PhD, including the assessment criteria
- begun to define and refine your research hypothesis and thesis structure
- reviewed how you are currently managing your PhD process and considered strategies for doing so more effectively
- developed a short to mid-term action plan to help you successfully complete your PhD
All RSSP sessions are active, interactive, involve individual and group discussions; and are supported by key pedagogical best practice and coaching theory. Be prepared to contribute to your own and your colleagues learning and development.
