Target Audience: Postgraduate Research Students (at the end of 2nd year or writing up year only)
This opportunity in the West of Scotland is one of only two GRADschool collaborations in the country, and is supported by the University of Strathclyde, University of Glasgow and Glasgow Caledonian University.
Many researchers who attend the course have a transformational experience - empowered to take charge of their own learning and career.
Expert tutors are recruited from a wide variety of backgrounds including research, academic, public and private sectors, and will be on hand to share experiences to give an honest insight into a range of career paths.
On completion of GRADschool, participants will be able to:
- Develop their personal effectiveness
- Identify ways to communicate effectively
- Make more informed choices about their future and manage the next step of their career
- Meet a whole host of postgraduate researchers from a variety of disciplines, backgrounds and ages
- Work with a range of experienced people from all over the country, or sometimes further afield, who are willing to openly share their career experiences
- Take a few days out from their research both physically and mentally, and have some space in which to consider themselves and their next steps.
