DPhil Bootcamp: Tools, support and strategies for DPhil success (in-person)
The DPhil Bootcamp is a one-day, interactive workshop designed to support mid-degree doctoral students as they navigate the challenges and opportunities of progressing through their DPhil.
The DPhil experience is marked by moments of discovery and fulfilment, alongside periods of uncertainty. This Bootcamp offers participants the chance to pause, connect with peers, and gain clarity on their priorities, progress, and next steps. Through facilitated discussion, guest input, and hands-on exercises, students are supported to work more effectively, support their wellbeing, and plan confidently for the future.
Throughout the day, participants will:
Recognise and strengthen their personal and professional support networks
Learn practical strategies to support wellbeing and build resilience
Develop a clear publication strategy and realistic timelines for thesis writing
Use project and time management tools to reduce overwhelm and increase focus
Explore career options beyond the DPhil and engage with available Careers Service support
Translate reflection into clear, actionable plans for the months ahead
