Supporting Neurodivergent students' learning and student experience
Are you a PhD student with a diagnosis or on the pathway for a diagnosis of Dyslexia, ADHD, Autistic Spectrum Condition, Dyspraxia, Tourette’s, or Dyscalculia? If so, you can help us gather information about your learning and student experiences at Warwick, via a focus group or one-to-one interview. You will receive a £15 voucher to thank you for your time. This project has received full ethical approval and has been co-created with PGR students.

Writing a book review
“Many doctoral students, like me, start their publications with a book review. However, this is not to say that a book review is easy or requires no skills at all. Instead, it plays a vital role in training our skills in academic writing and boosting our confidence in academic publications.”
