For the attention of (FAO): 2nd and 3rd year PhD students
8th Cumberland Lodge Doctoral Students Conference, 15th– 18th August 2015
The Graduate School is pleased to be able to offer one funded place at the above conference for a second or third year doctoral student. Please see further details here: www.cumberlandlodge.ac.uk/PhD
The conference is open to students of all disciplines at any stage in their doctorate, and is designed to help both those embarking on doctorates and those considering what they will do in the longer term. During the conference, students will:
- explore common concerns
- have opportunities to present their research to those in different disciplines and institutions
- engage with those with doctorates with careers within and outside the academic world.
- receive training in communication and successful application writing
Students will also have the unique experience of staying at Cumberland Lodge, a charitable foundation with over sixty years’ experience of working with students from across the world, and which each year hosts approximately 180 academic visits from universities across Britain.
The Graduate School is offering one funded place, to a second or third year PhD student, in shared accommodation which includes all meals and refreshments. We will also refund reasonable travelling expenses to and from the Lodge i.e. rail or mileage from Kent or the South East.
If you are interested in attending this event please email Carla Doolan, Postgraduate Development Coordinator at skills@kent.ac.uk by 5pm, Friday 15th May, explaining briefly what you would hope to gain from the experience. Applications will then be considered by the Dean of the Graduate School.
