This course is for MRC DTP students nearing the end of their DPhil and getting ready for their viva.
COURSE AIMS
This 2.5 hours interactive online MSD Skills training course is most suitable for those MRC DTP students in their third or fourth year of their DPhil or final year of MSc by research.
This course will take place as an interactive online session, with free rein for students to ask questions throughout. Tutor(s) can 'red flag' problems that have occurred in the past, but they can also highlight what makes for an excellent candidate and successful viva. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions from an alumni who recently successfully defended their DPhil viva voce examination in Medical Sciences.
