Are you struggling to concentrate and lacking in motivation? Is your writing constantly interrupted by your inbox, social media and trips to the kitchen? Write Here, Write Now (our session based loosely on the Pomodoro Technique) is back with a modified format, online, to help you focus on your writing.

Join us on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9:30am to kick-start your working from home!

Speaking in tongues: navigating English language.

These regular sessions provide opportunities to share and nuance any difficulties with English in either reading, writing and speaking, and explore potential ways forward for navigating these in your work plan. The sessions will vary week on week so please connect with the RDO channel to see what is coming up the following week.

Planning, patience & preparation for post lockdown

As we move into a new phase of pandemic & lockdown, we need to think about what next? How do we plan for a new unknown; how can we prepare ourselves, our research, our lives for this. And finally how can we remain patient with the rate of change, patient with ourselves if we are struggling with our progress.

This session will help you look at different goal setting, think about how you prefer to work, think about how these may apply now you’re WFH, possibly with family or a job, or nowhere sensible to work from? An opportunity to revisit some old and new methods and find out what could work for you. Or are you procrastinating? Whatever your individual reason this session will allow you to clarify your priorities for the next stage, uncover what is hindering you from achieving your goals, and set short and mid-term goals.

Keep in touch with your postgraduate community!

Every Tuesday afternoon 3pm-3:45pm, the Postgraduate Community Engagement Team and one of our Postgrad Mentors will be online via Microsoft Teams to answer questions, discuss any issue, or just to provide a friendly face to chat to.
