Life Beyond the PhD – Monday 13th to Friday 17th August 2018

Are you a late-stage doctoral student at the University of Brighton? Would you like to win a fully-funded place to attend Cumberland Lodge’s eleventh annual ‘Life Beyond the PhD’ conference this August?

Cumberland Lodge is an educational charity with a superb residential conference centre on the Berkshire/Surrey border. Their annual conference is designed to help doctoral students from any discipline prepare for their future, and to show that PhDs have value both inside and outside academia.

In 2016, one of our Doctoral students, Uschi Klein, won a place to attend this annual conference and found the experience highly rewarding. You can read Uschi’s thoughts and check out her fabulous photos in her blog post.

To apply for a fully-funded place at this year’s conference, please submit a short statement (300 words maximum) describing your ambitions beyond your PhD and what you would hope to gain from attending ‘Life Beyond the PhD’ to L.Slater@brighton.ac.uk by 12pm (midday) Friday 25 May, 2018.
