One-Day Writing Retreat, ONLINE

Description:

NB. This registration page is for those wishing to join the Writing Retreat remotely on Tuesday 10 February. If you wish to attend the retreat on campus please register through this link

_________________________________

In parallel to the on-campus writing retreat on Tuesday 10 February, the Graduate Research Development Team invites graduate research candidates who cannot come to campus the opportunity to attend the Writing Retreat remotely.

This one-day writing retreat provides a structured program to help progress your thesis writing skills. The aim is to provide participants with an opportunity to break away from their usual activities to focus solely on writing. Please ensure that you make arrangements prior to the writing that will allow you to participate for those hours.

 Registration closes 5pm Monday 9 February.
