'This course provided me experiential understanding which was highly applicable towards PhD life. The course delved deeper into strata beyond the technicalities of the PhD, this provided broader holistic meaning and understanding for me and a unique skillset that I am able to apply effectively to navigate daily encounters. I will definitely recommend this course to my fellow PhD students'. (Anonymous, Clinical Medicine PhD student).
