I\u2019m hoping this post will help to alleviate some o<\/em>f <em>the \u2018unknowns\u2019 that you may have at the prospect of starting a PhD away from campus.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Receiving your offer\u2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I received my offer to study for a PhD at York in a pre-COVID world. But as someone who had always commuted to York for my undergraduate degree, I knew that I wanted to carry on doing so for my PhD. Even so, the idea of starting my PhD without the same academic atmosphere felt a little overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, these feelings were quickly alleviated by an email outlining the university policies for remote learning. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/research\/graduate-school\/new-students\/options\/\">Temporary Remote Research<\/a> (TRR) allows postgraduate researchers to temporarily study away from campus without having to commit to distance learning permanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should I \u2018pack\u2019?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So this year\u2019s packing list might not be the most conventional. But reflecting back on these past few months, I found remote working can be made more productive (and more comfortable!) with the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>A laptop or device <\/strong>&#8211; your remote gateway to the university!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Headphones<\/strong> \u2013 everyone is really understanding of unavoidable background noises or unanticipated visitors (and a cat always brightens up a zoom meeting!) But it can be useful to have headphones handy to help you focus.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>A comfortable chair<\/strong> &#8211; you may be spending more time sitting than usual, so a cushion or two helps to attend meetings in comfort.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Familiarise yourself with Zoom and Google Meet.<\/strong> This is the main software I&#8217;ve used so far, and it&#8217;s always good to know where the mute button is! (The library offers really helpful <a href=\"https:\/\/subjectguides.york.ac.uk\/staff-skills\/working-remotely\">user guides<\/a> for these).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Plan a good working routine<\/strong> \u2013 use the flexibility with your working hours to your advantage. Think about when you work best and make sure you plan for screen breaks!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">As the start date approaches&#8230;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A couple of months prior to my start date, I received emails pointing me in the direction of Freshers&#8217; events, college activities, and online inductions tasks. I was given plenty of advanced notice on these events and sent reminder emails, so I already felt part of the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I found this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/research\/graduate-school\/new-students\/\">welcome page<\/a> extremely useful. It summarises key pre and post enrolment information to help orientate you to both the University and remote studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The induction webinar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would encourage everyone to attend the induction webinar. It is an easily accessible and welcoming tour of everything you could wish to know about becoming a postgraduate researcher at York. You will be able to put faces to the names of members of the support and academic staff. Plus learn about the university-wide support networks, which are there to help you succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, as with most key events, the induction is recorded as a series of videos. So I could focus on listening to the vast research-related and extracurricular opportunities offered at York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The first few weeks&#8230;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the first week of introductory zoom calls, I found it useful to take advantage of the Postgraduate Researcher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/research\/graduate-school\/support\/mentor-buddy\/\">buddy scheme<\/a>. I have found my meetings helpful to voice my thoughts in a safe environment with someone who remembers first-year jitters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Graduate Student&#8217;s Association (GSA) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorkgsa.org\/welcome\/networks\/\">networks<\/a> are also very useful for helping you make professional and friendly connections online. I became the network leader for the Disabled Student\u2019s Network and started a WhatsApp group for new PhD students within my department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was made easier to reach people via the postgraduate Facebook page. This is a super friendly platform to say hello and feel connected within your new community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So what is it like to have an online supervision meeting?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"302\" height=\"403\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/blog-photo82.jpg?resize=302%2C403\" alt=\"When home becomes your campus - laptop and headphones.\" class=\"wp-image-7492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/blog-photo82.jpg?w=302&amp;ssl=1 302w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/blog-photo82.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I approached the first meeting with my supervisors, I was unsure of how it might work. However, all my supervision meetings have been very productive and I was able to gain as much from them as an in-person meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preparation is key for online meetings. I find them most productive when I have submitted work prior to the meeting. As well as receiving written feedback, the work often creates a good focus for discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have also been able to build my confidence in presenting skills. This is a useful skill for any online job interviews or networking events!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">COVID communications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So as the near future is set to remain online, York has helpfully established a <a href=\"https:\/\/coronavirus.york.ac.uk\/home\">Coronavirus website<\/a>. This is regularly updated with national and university level information and policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These policies, such as offering a Christmas hamper to students staying in York over the holidays, support the sense of community which still thrives among both campus and remote learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/category\/pgr\/\">student posts about postgraduate study at York<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So many of our experiences are different this year, and starting a PhD is no exception.
