0 Credits ACADEMIC YEAR



Aims/Description: This module forms part of the compulsory doctoral training offered by the Faculty of Social Sciences. It has for overall objective to support the KPI of submission within the tuition-fee paying period students by enabling students: to understand the requirements for the award of a doctoral degree at UoS and shape their project accordingly; to anticipate challenges in their projects and to gain the skills to devise alternative plans in order to keep the project on track; to develop skills for multi-tasking throughout the doctoral project; to learn how to prioritise tasks and manage timelines and to stay focused in times of unexpected crisis/challenges. These skills will be taught so that students can apply them to their own projects, are confident about making changes to the project to adapt to changing circumstances and feel that they have the skills needed to submit within the tuition-fee paying period. All skills that are taught in this module are transferable and will benefit students in their academic or non-academic careers and enhance employability.  The lecture will be asynchronous and pre-recorded and available throughout the year, the workshop that follows the lecture will be attended in person (there will be several workshops across the year to allow for different start dates). A short reflection of 300-500 words will need to be completed within one working week (two for PT students) following the workshop and be marked pass/fail. The module has to be taken within the first semester of starting the PGR programme.
