Our doctoral study experience
Our postgraduate research experience is a little bit different to other universities. We know that you are competent students and independent learners, but we also know that it’s good to have people to help you when you need it. That’s why we provide you with support that’s tailored to your research area. We make sure that you have regular meetings with your supervisors and our Postgraduate Research Offices provide drop-in support from our dedicated research support team.
We also run a development programme for supervisors who are new to research degree supervision. It is a validated university postgraduate course and it is delivered as two modules, Workshops and Observation.
Skills development programme
“I just wanted to thank you both for a really good workshop. Lots of knowledge consolidated, clarified and also new!” Postgraduate Research Student on Using Social Media workshop.
Alongside project supervision and subject-related development, you will take part in an extensive Postgraduate Research Skills Development Programme throughout your period of study. The programme is multi-stranded, providing the skills needed to complete a successful degree, as well as those needed to be a proficient researcher after degree study. It includes skills workshops and development activities, such as an annual conference, poster competition and Images of Research event.
Induction
“A really well planned and organised week; I really enjoyed it and I look forward to studying at this university”. New research student feedback from Induction week.
You will be given an excellent springboard from which to start your studies through our four day induction programme. This delivers hands-on skills workshops, orientation, an introduction to support systems and sessions where you can meet staff, plus an opportunity to present your research to other students. A Faculty-based induction on the fifth day introduces you to the facilities, development events, staff and other PGRs in your faculty.
