Workshop for new doctoral candidates- October 1

If you have recently achieved doctoral candidacy, you may be wondering, what happens next? Join the Centre for Graduate Professional Development at the School of Graduate Studies to learn about navigating candidacy.

The period after you finish your coursework and comprehensive/qualifying exams is an exciting time to focus on your research. However, candidacy also presents new challenges: increased solitary work, enhanced responsibility for your own time management, and, of course, thesis writing.

Our Welcome to Candidacy workshop is designed to help with the transition to candidacy by covering these topics:

• Establishing greater independence as a scholar
• Managing all the demands on your time
• Getting the feedback you need
• Understanding thesis writing
• Finding key information about program completion, funding, supervisory support, and career planning

This workshop is intended for any U of T doctoral student who has recently achieved candidacy in their program, though all doctoral candidates are welcome. Register on our events website.
