Are you a graduate student or an academic looking for a fun way to unwind? Do research skills lectures cause you to fall asleep, no matter how important you know the topics are?
Introducing 'How to Fail Your Research Degree', the board game that turns the trials and tribulations of earning a research degree into an hour or so of laughter and camaraderie. Despite its scary name, this game is designed to bring joy, humor, and a bit of levity to the serious journey of completing your research degree.
