Please note this workshop is only open to Humanities researchers at the University of Oxford

Are you part-way through your PhD and wondering how to keep going? Do you need a push to progress to the final stages? If so, this workshop is for you.

When the initial burst of enthusiasm that comes from starting your PhD starts to fade, but the end still feels a long way off, it can feel challenging to maintain your momentum and you might worry that you’re not making enough progress. In this supportive workshop we will explore approaches to boost your productivity, overcome blocks and identify what you need to successfully move forward with your PhD.

In this interactive workshop you will:
• Clarify where you are with your PhD
• Identify your critical success factors
• Learn tools and techniques to boost your productivity
• Build a support network
• Develop a plan for success

Due to limited capacity, please only book a place on this workshop if you are a DPhil student in the period between Transfer of Status and Confirmation of Status.
