Virtual Research Week

Published 18 September 07 09:42 AM

The PSA Research Careers Week (held 10-13 Sept) was a cornucopia of information for research students at any stage in their degree. From designing your thesis, to managing supervision and the mid-thesis doldrums, to examinations and what distinguishes a PhD, there was something of interest no matter where you are up to in your studies. There was also a focus on life after the degree: how the generic skills that you develop - as well as your expertise - can set you up for careers in research, academic or industry.

Even better, the Week is now a virtual cornucopia - with PowerPoint slides and Lectopia recordings up on the PSA website. Check it out!

Thanks Karen! There were a few sessions that looked really interesting, but I ended up being too stressed to go to any of them. I'm looking forward to looking through the 'virtual cornucopia' at the end of the week.
