Thesis Boot Camp
|
Research candidates can often encounter difficulties with writing towards the end of their degree. Thesis Boot Camp helps you do a large amount of work on your thesis and develop productive writing habits in a single weekend. This bootcamp was built on a concept originally created and developed by Dr Liam Connell, Dr Peta Freestone and Dr Katherine Firth. Yes - this is the famous one that got a write up in Nature, and yes, we really do help you learn to write 20,000 words in three days!
The #ANUTBC program is extremely popular and spaces are limited. These camps are targeted for students writing towards the end of their degree. Your application will go through an application process assessing your thesis progress, goals for the camp and personal circumstances.

Writing under pressure
|
Academics often have to pick up and put down a piece of writing, making it hard to find focus and flow. PhD students can experience the same problems when they are forced to go part time to complete their project. Learn how to complete writing projects 'on top of everything else' and without losing your mind.
In this workshop, Professor Inger Mewburn (@thesiswhisperer), a prolific writer, shares her top strategies on getting that writing done, preferably within a standard working week. This workshop is suitable for anyone who reacts to the title and says 'Yes! This is what I need in my life!'. It helps if you have a writing project you're struggling to get done - we'll show you how to make progress.
