This is a one-day workshop that helps new doctoral students build sustainable habits to support their future careers.

Thursday, 25 June 2026, 9.30am to 4pm

The DPhil experience is marked by moments of discovery and fulfilment, alongside periods of uncertainty. Through facilitated discussion, guest input, and hands-on exercises, students are supported to work more effectively, support their wellbeing, and plan confidently for the future.

• Recognise and strengthen their personal and professional support networks
• Learn practical strategies to support wellbeing and build resilience
• Develop a clear publication strategy and realistic timelines for thesis writing
• Use project and time management tools to reduce overwhelm and increase focus
