Surviving your viva: Avoiding common errors in your thesis.
Wednesday, 13 December 2023 13:00 - 14:00 GMT
Online
One of the key factors facilitating a successful viva is a well written and considered thesis. This session provides and overview of typical corrections given by examiners following PhD and MSc viva’s and thus, how to avoid them in the first instance. The session is based on the presenter’s experience of external examining and chairing numerous research degree viva’s. Although these suggestions are of direct interest to postgraduate student’s they can easily be transferred to undergraduate lab reports and projects and also as guidance for staff beginning their supervision journey.

Mental Health First Aid Courses
December
In-person and online
ESSA are proudly presenting a Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course for ESSA Exercise & Sports Science Professionals.
The Standard Mental Health First Aid course teaches participants how to provide initial support to another adult who may be experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis, until professional help is received, or the crisis resolves. Course participants learn about the signs and symptoms of common mental health problems in adults, how to recognise and respond to an emerging or worsening mental health problem and the treatments and supports available.
Using a practical, evidence-based action plan, course participants learn how to approach someone they are concerned about and initiate a conversation about those concerns. Participants also learn how to offer initial support and information and how to encourage the person to seek professional help or other supports. Adults who complete the course become Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders), equipped with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to provide someone with mental health information and support when it matters most.
