This session offers a general introduction to preparing for your Initial Review. You will be guided through key components such as writing a concise project summary, developing a realistic timeline (e.g. a GANTT chart), and identifying key milestones. We will also explore how to assess the feasibility of your research plans, reflect on your training needs, and engage professionally with progress monitoring processes. As each School sets its own requirements, you should always refer to your School’s induction materials and work closely with your supervisor to tailor your submission.
