Testimonials from previous delegates
Cumberland Lodge provided a hugely effective context in which to discuss ideas with fascinating people.
Dr C. L. Lynch, Tutor in Transferable Skills, Brunel Graduate School
This conference will leave you with a very clear and unadulterated view of what your life as an academic might be – a must for every PhD student who wants to know what lies beyond.
Siza Mtimbiri, University of Cambridge
Excellent practice in presenting my own research to an audience not in the same field. Making it an excellent learning opportunity in communication skills and conveying a message clearly - as well as then getting feedback on my performance. Cumberland Lodge is a beautiful setting and environment to have a break from the research department !!
Dr Robert Petrarca, King’s College London
