Welcome to PGR at Bradford
We are a friendly and dedicated community of researchers
This page is for our Post-graduate Researchers (PGR) who are just arriving at the University.
There are induction events throughout your first weeks to help you:
- meet other researchers within your research area and across the university
- opt-in to taster sessions* that can familiarise you doctoral-level study and begin your expert skills development.
*Rooms are yet to be confirmed for most events, these will be added late-Sept so that you know where to attend for the different sessions.
Important induction information (Oct 2019)
- Compulsory induction events for all new PG Researchers (even if you have studied at Bradford in the past) occur during your 1st and 3rd weeks and are indicated.
- The Training Needs Analysis event in the first week is optional but strongly recommended, as all doctoral researchers must complete this document with their supervisory team. Each induction session is mapped to the national Researcher Development Framework to get you started.
- All other training sessions are optional and designed to help you get off to a good start with your research. Follow us on Twitter for updates on training & resources.
- For a synopsis of each session to help you decide, please click on the link.
- Find The PGR Lounge and any other buildings on campus where induction events are taking place using its campus map number. Just scroll down a little to download the map.
