We are pleased to offer two workshops which may be of interest to PGR students just starting out in their studies.

Multitasking/time management – becoming a rounded researcher

28 November 2019

What is the session about, what will be covered?

Your time as a Doctoral student is much more than your research project/question.  The doctorate is about becoming a rounded researcher and this will involve developing your skills and attributes in a wide range of skills that are important to you as an individual and to your chosen career.  This session will discuss what other aspects you can get experience of during your doctorate, what skills can you develop and how this will help in your future.  An essential component to getting the most out of your time as a Doctoral student is making the most of your time, organisation and multitasking hints and tips will be discussed to help you develop and enhance these skills.

What do I need to do before attending?

Consider why are you doing a Doctorate what do you want to get out of it?

Who is the session for?

This session is for all Doctoral students across SHU and is targeted for those students pre RF1, but can be useful to all years.

The session is being led by Prof Christine Le Maitre from the Faculty of Health & Wellbeing

Managing your Supervisor

3 December 2019

This workshop focuses on the development of relationships with your research supervisor(s), noted to be a key influence on your research degree student experience. Drawing on a range of materials we will explore ways in which you can develop your skills to effectively ‘manage your research supervisor’.

The workshop is aimed at research students from any discipline and will be led by experienced research degree supervisors from a range of academic research areas. It offers an opportunity to meet with members of the SHU-wide research degree community as part of the wider development of a PGR network.
