The programme takes place in two parts:
- a series of in person and online seminars and workshops during the Autumn, Spring, and Summer Terms open to all PhD students across all years, and;
- an off-campus overnight Retreat in the Summer Term for a maximum of ten students.
Seminars and Workshops during the academic year
Seminars and workshops are open to all MPhil/PhD students, and MRes/PhD students after they have upgraded to the PhD. We encourage students to attend the full programme. Students who attend 9 out of 12 sessions will be given a certificate of attendance detailing the training they will have received.
Overnight Retreat
After the completion of the on-campus seminars, Spring offers an overnight retreat which will take place in early summer and is organised in collaboration with LSE Generate and LSE Careers. This off-campus learning experience aims to equip participants with soft skills, such as time management and branding oneself as a researcher. Emphasis will be placed on the transferability of the skills acquired by students during the PhD.
Accommodation and living expenses will be covered.
Places are limited to ten students and priority will be given to the students who have attended the most sessions of the programme.
