If so, you might be interested in a couple of workshops the Graduate School are running in February and March. On 21st February in MY120, Avenue Campus we are running a Finishing Development Day featuring three workshops – Preparing for the Viva, Editing and Finishing your Thesis and Proofreading your Work. You can attend all three or just a single workshop – please book each workshop separately, just click on the links above or see the Calendar in Gateway.

For those students at the mid-point of their PhD or Doctorate, Dr Kate Mahoney will be visiting us on 7th March to run Effective Progress.  The workshop will help you to

• recognise the progress you have made in relation to your overall project
• define and refine your research hypothesis and your thesis structure
• understand the requirements of the PhD, including the assessment criteria
• review how you manage your PhD process

You will also develop a short- to mid-term action plan to help you successfully complete your thesis.
