Designed for, and by, Postgraduate Researchers

An exciting new initiative for 2018-2019 is the Getting Real Training Series.

Getting Real Training is a team of four PhD students, designing, re-designing and influencing the training you can access via the RSSP.

It may be virtual reality, it maybe the new steps in social communication or the best way to manage your spin out company.

The team of four will be recruited in Autumn 2018, take on educational development training and coaching skills and prepare new materials for 2019.

We will see the first Getting Real Training workshop delivered in February followed by another 9 in the series. They will also run three summer schools in July.

Get involved, tell them what you want to see, or come and deliver the training.

We鈥檙e also running special sessions of our Writing mentor and Numerical Skills mentor programmes just for PGT students. Drop in and seem them at the following dates:

Pop into the Research Exchange to enjoy some coffee and cake, while chatting with other researchers.

These sessions are a great opportunity to network with other researchers, discuss your research, and to take a break so that you can return to your work refreshed and relaxed.

Research Refresh runs throughout the year, apart from University closed days.
