What can I learn at SeedWISE?

SeedWISE empowers DPhil women in STEM to: 

  • Increase their awareness of the variety of industrial and enterprise careers 

  • Build self-confidence in areas such as pitching, promoting and networking 

  • Learn from women working in a variety of settings 

  • Develop an enterprising mindset, irrespective of career destination 

  • Meet with, network and encourage other DPhil students 

The blended learning format of SeedWISE combines virtual and in-person meetings with further resources and explorations between sessions. Canvas chat boards allow you to consistently interact with other women on the course and chart your progress through the material. 

Our fun, interactive face-to-face sessions involve a mixture of speakers from a variety of career backgrounds, group work and action learning sets. In small groups of 4 or 5, you will have 15 minutes of ‘air time’ to present your thoughts on a topic and ask your group for help.  

The initial and final meetings will be 3 hours long (with breaks), and the online sessions in between will be 90 minutes on Zoom.  

All additional material will be available on Canvas. This includes resources discussed in each session, video lessons, exercises and further information for those who want to delve deeper.
