You Need, You Need to Learn a Skill

Anna Clemens is an academic writing coach with a background in Chemistry and a experience as a science journalist.

In this episode we talk about undertaking training to support your PhD journey.

We talk about the unexpected learning that is part of the doctorate and how to identify your priorities. 

Anna advises on how to find courses that can support your professional development - from checking with your university to professional associations - as well as how to potentially find funding to support accessing external courses.

We think about the potential benefits of courses and why the PhD is a great time to undertake professional development.
