There are a wide range of opportunities to get involved in graduate training across the department, faculty, and university to discover the latest research, meet other researchers working in similar areas, and develop new skills and methods.

As part of your postgraduate research degree (M.Phil and PhD) you will have access to a range of opportunities for support and training in research and professional development. These include the programme offered by the Bristol Doctoral College, as well as training workshops organised by the Faculty of Arts and School of Humanities.

However, beyond this programme there are a huge variety of workshops, talks, and events run by the school and faculty research groups and centres where you will be able to share your research, meet PGRs and staff working in similar areas, and explore new research methods.

There are also opportunities to get involved in training and events at university-wide institutes including the Cabot Institute for the Environment, Jean Golding Institute, the Brigstow Institute, Migration Mobilities Institute. More info on research institutes here.

You may also be given the chance at an appropriate stage to teach undergraduates, and you will be offered training for this purpose, leading to formal accreditation.

Please get in touch with Rob Skinner or your prospective supervisor if you would like any further information on skills training while undertaking your research degree.
