Course information
PhD Support in planning writing your thesis: practical project groups
Are you writing your PhD thesis and could you use some inspiration, support or encouragement? Or do you want to learn how to work a little less intensely? Are you unsure about your progress? Then this group may be just what you need.
Every two weeks we meet up (session is 1 or 1,5 hrs) to plan the next two weeks. Your plans will always be based on your long-term plan for the entire PhD program. This will make it easier to monitor your progress, your plans will be more realistic and match your way of working. The PhD group sessions are led by an experienced trainer/coach. In the process of planning and writing you might feel hampered by issues such as not being sure how to communicate with your supervisor or by not getting grip on your time management, which might make you feel stressed. Practical tips & tricks will be discussed, which you use during the time that you are participating in the support group.
N.B. This is NOT a course or activity for which EC’s can be obtained.
