One Day PhD Mastery
A concise programme on how to stay vital and effective during your PhD journey
One day full of connection and growth
As a PhD trajectory is about doing research and capturing all the results into a doctoral thesis, the attention of the PhD student and its supervisor are naturally drawn to the content. And therefore issues like: How to organize my work? What is needed to stay vital? How can I optimally collaborate with my supervisor? How stay focused? How do I deal with stress? remain underexposed or even taken for granted.
AcademicVision offers a unique 1-Day-programme to prepare PhD students for a vital and effective PhD journey. A day full of highly experiential and interactive leearning. The day will not consist of long PowerPoint decks but many interactive exercises that will allow the students to discover about themselves, about the most common PhD pitfalls and about the effective PhD habits.
A wonderful aspect of this program is that the interactive exercises encourage sharing among participants, thereby significantly enhancing the connection among PhD students.
From pitfalls to effective habits
Throughout the One Day PhD Mastery, we guide students in discovering the most common pitfalls experienced during their PhD journey. Subsequently, we focus on learning and implementing effective and healthy habits to prevent falling into these pitfalls.
