Peer-Led Learning
The DTA PLL Scheme aims to provide PGRs with a platform to share their knowledge and experiences and support each other during their doctoral journey. Student PLL Leaders will design and facilitate online sessions every two months. Sessions are interactive allowing participants to ask questions and take part in the discussion freely. Every session will be structured around a topic relevant to the PhD journey.
Visit our events page to view all upcoming Peer Led Learning sessions and book your place. More sessions will be added throughout the year.
