Last Friday marked the end of my 2-month internship with the Doctoral College at the University of Bath, where I had the pleasure of working within the Doctoral Development Team.<\/p>\n<p>Key highlights from July included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Supporting a Writing Retreat at Cricklade Hotel<\/li>\n<li>Assisting the Events team during graduation ceremonies<\/li>\n<li>Getting involved with 2025\/26 planning, researching venues for next year\u2019s Writing Retreats, and collecting and analysing feedback data from the events<\/li>\n<li>Presenting my internship experience to the Doctoral College in our monthly meeting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Across such a diverse range of tasks, I\u2019ve grown in more ways than expected. Some key takeaways from the experience include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Behind-the-scenes event planning. I gained hands-on experience in how events are run, and how different teams collaborate to make them happen. With my interest in business, this insight is invaluable<\/li>\n<li>Organisation and planning skills. I created my own colour-coded system to enable me to stay on track with tasks and deliver on time<\/li>\n<li>Communication skills. By emailing and communicating with various people from different positions and departments around the university, my written and verbal communication skills have been improved. At first, I struggled to write concise, professional emails but with practice my email-writing skills improved greatly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Overall, I have really enjoyed my experience during this internship.<\/p>\n<p>A big thank goes out to the Doctoral Development Team: Oli S., Fiona Alexander, Caitlin Naylor and Taif Aljebory for being excellent to work with and helping me achieve everything I wanted and more. Additionally, thank you to my other colleagues in the Doctoral College for being so welcoming to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, I'm Noah Tucker.
