Wednesday, 10th April, 12:30 - 2:30pm |
Finding space and time to sit and write can be challenging for PhD students. Academic Writing Support would like to help address this by offering a 2-hour period in Room 34 in the Arts Block for PhD students to come along and write with a small group of peers. This will be a friendly and supportive session that aims to give doctoral students the space to work on whatever academic work they wish to do. It will also be a chance to have some tea or coffee and get to know fellow students who are all on different academic journeys. In addition to this, we here at Academic Writing Support are very keen to get your thoughts on how else we might help support our doctoral students over a quick cuppa! |
