How to succeed in your PhD! A one day course which prepares final year PhD students for finishing the writing up, surviving the viva and moving on into postdoc or other employment. All research students in the Graduate School of Life Sciences are expected to attend this highly-recommended course at some point in their final year. The Michaelmas and Easter Term instances are in town and have a bias towards those studying in Biological Sciences; the Lent Term instance is on the Addenbrooke's site and has a bias towards those studying in Clinical Medicine.NB this course replaces both the 'Completing your PhD' and 'FUMO' courses.

This course will benefit anyone in a work environment and is designed to provide candidates with an understanding of health and safety requirements placed on employers and employees. If you require training before the next planned course please contact the course leader as it may be possible to arrange some training earlier if there is enough demand. There will be a nominal fee (20 ukp) for certification with the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health if you are a member of the University. If the University is not your employer, please contact the course leader for details and fee. Please note candidates must bring their University Card or another form of photo ID with them on the day in order to be able to attend the course.

Much of the session comprises a case study based on a medium sized University department. Delegates will examine University regulations and procedures and decide the actions for various scenarios and correct anomalies for selected sources of funds.

Understanding the brain is widely cited as being the most difficult task facing us today. Ultimately we want the combined knowledge from various approaches to provide us with insight into how nervous systems generate behaviours, and how we can intervene when it goes wrong. More than ever, critical analysis needs to be applied to neuroscience data. This critical ability is an essential component of any scientific training, yet it is often lost during the (relatively short) course of a PhD, where the focus is on generating data. Journal clubs, guest lectures and dicussions will provide a basis for developing critical skills in neuroscience.
