Doing a PhD is always challenging and sometimes we are at a point in the project where feelings of being overwhelmed, lacking inspiration or managing your time and working with others can be tricky. This month of workshops and events is designed to provide you with support and inspiration to navigate through the 'PhD blues'. In collaboration with the Careers Service, Libraries and PGR Wellbeing we have designed this programme to offer a diverse range of activities tailored to cater to various needs, ensuring that there's something for everyone. We hope you enjoy the month, and that you get your mojo back!
