This module forms part of the compulsory doctoral training offered by the Faculty of Social Sciences. It has for overall objective to support the KPI of submission within the tuition-fee paying period students by enabling students: to understand the requirements for the award of a doctoral degree at UoS and shape their project accordingly; to anticipate challenges in their projects and to gain the skills to devise alternative plans in order to keep the project on track; to develop skills for multi-tasking throughout the doctoral project; to learn how to prioritise tasks and manage timelines and to stay focused in times of unexpected crisis/challenges. These skills will be taught so that students can apply them to their own projects, are confident about making changes to the project to adapt to changing circumstances and feel that they have the skills needed to submit within the tuition-fee paying period.
The module consists of a pre-recorded online introductory lecture, an in-person workshop session, and a short written assignment. Further information can be found on our website
