Step Up to PhD is a free short course run by the Graduate School at Staffordshire University. It is designed to:
- provide you with some core information about what doctoral research entails
- help you to reflect upon the practicalities such as cost, timing and time management
- guide you in developing and refining a research question
- support you as you write your research proposal
When?
The Step Up to PhD programme takes place on three Thursdays:
- 6th June
- 20th June
- 27th June
These events are held online on Teams. Each of these takes about 45 minutes and will be on Thursdays at either 13.00 or 19.00.
What will you do?
Watch videos of about an hour each; you will be asked to watch these after each session
Reading, searching, writing and reflecting will be required each week. It is up to you how much time you spend, but we recommend 1-2 hours per week
Finally, we ask you to complete a feedback form at the end of the programme
If you are not quite ready, don’t worry; we run the programme twice a year, so you will have another opportunity to take part.
