PhD Chat: Staying Engaged

Being a PhD researcher is a hugely rewarding journey in many ways, but can also involve challenges. Any questions or concerns you have will be shared by others, so talking to fellow researchers can help you on your PhD journey.

Our PhD Chat sessions are led by current PGRs (our UGS Scholars), so you can meet other PGRs, ask questions and learn more about support that is available, whilst also sharing your own experiences and helping others. Each session involves an introduction to a specific topic related to pursuing a PhD, followed by informal group discussion and experience sharing.

This (online) PhD Chat is particularly relevant for PGRs who work remotely from campus, but if you find this topic useful then please do come along regardless. We will talk about staying motivated, isolation, student-supervisor partnership, making the most of the wider research community, developing your peer group network… PGRs at all stages are welcomed! Make yourself a cosy cuppa and join us online!
