We are currently discussing the dates to deliver two VOX courses during 2022/23 academic session.

The deposit will be refunded on attendance and completion of the training. Those who sign up but fail to attend the session will not be refunded and will not be permitted to sign up to future VOX events.

Previous Feedback
It was a very insightful course, which really resonated with my situation, and the organisers provided practical and concrete advice!
The course allowed me to interact and hear from colleagues. It was a great way to understand the experiences and views my supervisor might have and why, and how my actions could be perceived. I feel much more comfortable with my PhD overall, and it was a lot of fun too!
