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 starting at the University.
There are induction events throughout your first weeks to help you:
- virtually 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.
Key Information
- Compulsory induction events for all new PG Researchers (even if you have studied at Bradford in the past) occur during your 1st and 2nd weeks and are indicated. PGR is very different to studying other degrees at lower levels, so these must be attended.
- All sessions times are BST.
- The Training Needs Analysis event 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.
- There is no need to book, you will be sent an invitation to join the session just before or on the day itself, so please check your email.
- There are other training events over the summer aimed at most disciplines, these are free to you and run as online sessions, too.
