Regardless of whether you've attended a Bootcamp with us before, you'll be required to prepare a Roadmap document. We'll explain what this is in the Goal Setting & Preparation Workshop, and you'll be fully supported as you complete it. This Roadmap allows you to fully plan and skeleton out the chapter or paper you'll be working on.

I was absolutely amazed at how much I wrote (33,000 words!). I found the experience deeply satisfying...On my own I would have got distracted or stopped...The thesis roadmap too was fantastic. This task in itself has moved me forward with my doctorate and I've shared it with my supervisors.
