The Student-Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC) at the Law School is organising a five-day ‘PhD Writing Bootcamp’ from 1st May to 5th May 2023. The idea is to do some writing using the Pomodoro technique (40-minute writing sprints with 5-minute breaks in between each).

The Bootcamp will run in two sessions from 9 am to 4 pm each day (morning 9 am -12 pm; afternoon 1-4 pm). You have the option to attend the event in person as well as online. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

This session will guide students through drafting an effective personal statement for either academic or professional pursuits. Students will be guided through self-discovery reflections intended to boost self-confidence and to help the application writing process. These reflections will be followed by in-class writing-up and collaborative peer editing activities. If you are struggling with applications, or just want to level-up your personal statement writing, this is the session for you!
