How to make a success of your post-graduate research, online

This 2 hour interactive online MSD Skills Training course helps students to chart a successful path through their research projects with advice on time management, expectations, integration and development within a new research team/institution and crucially, how to take control of their research. Importantly, this also includes understanding the roles of student and supervisor, and strategies for dealing with common supervisor-related issues, along with available support networks, sources of advice and counsel, and how to think about difficult conversations. This course is built upon experiences from past MSD students.
