Wider research involvement

Widening research and participation (wrap) a Students as Research partners research project. In 2018 the team researched the potential of undergraduate involvement in research to improve the experience and outcome of UGs at University; and to widen engagement with research and diversify the research pipeline. The team reported on the above and also the value of Students as Partners as a research and teaching process.

PhD In Second Language- an initiative to support PGRs researching in their second or third language

The Parent Juggle- supporting parents whilst they undertake their PhD

Conference Season

Getting your PhD off to the best start

A PhD is challenging. Doing it in another language makes it more so. Even if your first language is English but you're unfamiliar with British Academia, there will be something here to support you.

PhD in a Second Language

The series is designed and run by a ÌÇÐÄTV PhD Alumni, Lecturer and RD facilitator who still occasionally struggles to find the correct word.

The series is designed to support you with many aspects of the process. We cover writing and speaking, reading and presenting and navigating GB culture.
