Wildlife PhD Launchpad
The Wildlife PhD Launchpad is an online program for those who are thinking of doing a PhD in the future.
Led by our Founder, Dr Kayleigh Fawcett Williams, this workshop will help you get clear on whether a PhD is right for you and help you to create a roadmap for your PhD journey.
Is this for you?
This Workshop is for you if:
- You've been thinking of applying for a PhD at some point in the future
or
- You've been wondering if a PhD is for you
or
- You've been applying for PhDs but you've not landed one yet
If ANY of these sound like you, the Wildlife PhD Launchpad is for YOU!
Why should I sign up?
Lots of people say "I'd like to do a PhD someday" but very few people make it a reality. This can be because they don't really know if it's right for them and even if they do they often don't really know how to go about getting into one.
In this workshop, we'll help you get clear on whether a PhD is the right step for you, and help you to create a road map for getting there.
How will we help you?
In this online workshop, we will help you to get clear on:
- If a PhD is really right for you
- What kind of project would be the best fit for you
- How to plan a project
- How to find a supervisor
- How to apply for it!
...and a whole lot more!
How much time do I need to set aside?
You'll need around 8 hours in total. Spend a full day intensive or break it down into bite-sized chunks, wherever you have access to the internet.
Like all of our online events, courses & workshops, we've designed this workshop to be flexible, no matter where in the world you are or what your schedule.
What do our students say about our workshops?
