This programme draws on an active learning/problem solving approach.  A series of activities (e.g. team building, problem solving, learning styles) have been developed to represent parts of the PhD Journey.  

Course participants are allocated into teams of 4-5 and they undertake the various challenges.  Following each activity there is a full debrief that relates to the PhD experience.

This programme appeals to a group of people who learn best from doing as opposed to listening.  It's a chance to get involved in and learn from focused activities and learn some of the skills of working in a team.

Participants will get the opportunity to learn how to:

• Problem solve
• Understand their learning style
• Deal with feedback
• Deal with frustrations and set-backs
• Work co-operatively within a team
