Bootcamps
Our regular Bootcamps are a more serious affair. These online bootcamp webinars are designed as small group (12 pax max), interactive online development experiences, to help participants work through a specific issue related to their research journey. During the full day bootcamp we workshop various activities, discuss best practice approaches, outline core concepts and perspectives to embed them, and hear from guest speakers about their experience and viewpoints. We charge a nominal fee for these bootcamps, and participants walk away with loads of new ideas and confidence, an interactive e-book covering the day’s discussion, and a certificate of attendance. Bootcamps are held online over the weekend.
Upcoming Bootcamps
27 & 28 September 2025 | Developing Your Research Proposal
25 & 26 October 2025 | Engaging Policy-Makers & Stakeholders
22 & 23 November 2025 | Grant Writing & Research Funding

Special Interest Sessions
When special guest speakers or panelists are available to facilitate a session on a special interest topic, eg; a latest methodological development, issues of researcher mental health, new software, etc, we will facilitate an online special interest session. These are ad hoc in timing, and based upon current developments in the industry and availability of guest speakers.
Curated By Request
The Third Degree is available to run paid sessions on select topics ‘by request’ for either universities or groups of students based upon individual requirements. These can be run face-to-face, online, or in hybrid mode. We will also curate programmes and experiences to be tailor-made to specific learning objectives.
