The ADM PhD Mentoring scheme facilitates interdisciplinary mentoring partnerships between PGRs at different stages of their doctoral journey and between current and completed PGRs with mutual concerns across Arts, Design & Media.
It aims to …
- Provide informal support for PGRs at various stages of their doctoral study complementary to the role of the supervisory team;
- Facilitate knowledge exchange resulting in new ideas, approaches and ways of working with the potential for research-related outputs such as conference and symposia contributions, publications, workshops, exhibitions and projects;
- Increase partcipant’s personal and professional development, for example through critical reflection and gaining transferrable skills;
- Enhance a holistic PGR experience in which wellbeing and socialisation are embedded with research training.
