PhD in second language series

A PhD is challenging. Doing it in another language makes it more so.

The series is designed to support you with many aspects of the process. We cover writing and speaking, reading and presenting. We discuss how we network and create connections. We also discuss the vagaries of undertaking research in the UK, strange British habits and accents, the words that mean something entirely different and trip us up every time.

This day workshop will take us through the assHow do I explain all the things that I have learnt during my PhD to other people?

What do I need to know?

What motivates me?

I want to be able to …

I need to be able to …

Realistically I cannot do…

What other options are available to me?

We shall be answering these and many more questions

umptions we make about our career path; work on what is important to us from our career; what abilities we have from doing our PhD and beyond that we can transfer to our chosen job market. You will leave the day with a network of colleagues and an action plan for moving your career choices forward. Places very limited and you will need to attend the whole day. Please do not book unless you know that you can be here since you will be taking the place from someone else.

Paragraphs: the building blocks of your thesis.

You know your research. You are a specialist in your field. But do you still find yourself getting stuck or frustrated when you try to write about it? The following workshops are designed to help you ensure your writing is as effective as your research.
