Accelerator is a series of sessions which we think is invaluable to getting your PhD off to the best start. There’s no need to attend all of them, and some are repeated at different times/ days throughout the 10 weeks of term.

Your supervisor can be the most valuable resource you have during your PhD. A mentor and advisor that helps to manage your project and keep you on track, and a sounding board for your new ideas and thoughts. The list could go on… But key to the success is knowing and understanding how to manage this relationship successfully. The session will cover the responsibilities of both the supervisor and the PGR; it will also look at best practices, hints and tips.
