There are a number of wellbeing workshops taking place before for postgraduate researchers before the winter break, so read on to find the sessions that suit you the most:
Looking after your wellbeing at conferences – 30 November, 12:00-13:30
Prioritising your wellbeing during conferences is important for PGRs. This workshop will explore common anxieties related to conferences and identify ways to combat them.
Creating balance in your doctorate – 6 December, 13:00-14:30
The importance of balance when looking after your wellbeing is key. This workshop will look at practical ways to create balance in your doctoral study.
PGR Wellbeing session – 10 December, 10:00-11.30
We know that studying for a PhD can be tough, and this may be intensified by the impact of the pandemic. Facilitated by the Student Wellbeing Team, the PGR Wellbeing Session is a small group which encourages doctoral researchers to make meaningful connections with each other in a safe environment.
The group provides an opportunity to meet with other PhD students in a similar situation and discuss topics such as stress, work-life balance, isolation, loneliness and the impact of COVID-19. PGRs can have a positive impact on the wellbeing of their peers by offering each other support and practical solutions. To register for the session, please email [email protected].
Feedback and wellbeing – Wednesday 15 December, 13:00-14:30
Academic feedback differs at doctoral level, and this workshop will explore how academic feedback can sometimes impact on our wellbeing.
Each workshop can be booked through PGR Manager – please note that there are limited spaces available, so we encourage you to book early to secure your space.
You can also visit the PGR Support page for more information on how the Student Wellbeing Team support postgraduate students.
