The Doctoral School's Professional Development Programme for Academic Year 2020/21 is now available, with the majority of the workshops being delivered twice, either in the morning or in the evening in an effort to accommodate as many of the University’s doctoral researchers as possible. The mode of delivery of each workshop can be found on the study-unit descriptions linked below.
Applications for the semester one workshops are open on a first-come first-served basis, through the eSIMS portal, from 30 September to 7 October 2020. No late applications will be accepted.
It is of utmost importance to register only if you are sure you are able to attend the workshops on the day and time advertised. The Doctoral School has a cancellation policy whereby failure to attend more than three workshops without a valid reason for doing so will lead to not being able to attend other doctoral school workshops in future. Valid reasons for late cancellation or for missing a workshop involve illness (this needs to be corroborated with a doctor’s certificate) and unplanned leave of absence (this needs to be corroborated with documentation).
Some workshops also require that participants present some work prior to the date of the workshop. Care should be taken to follow deadlines and instructions given in the Professional Development programme catalogue or on the study-unit description.
Each workshop will run if there is a sufficient number of applicants.
