About our new series of research skills training sessions
The Graduate School in the Department for Continuing Education, University of Oxford, provides a comprehensive researcher training and development programme which is open to all postgraduate students in the University. The programme consists of networking events, seminars and writing groups alongside a wide range of sessions on generic research skills which apply across different academic disciplines.
In line with our mission and values, our goal is to broaden access to such researcher training by enabling and encouraging participation from those outside the University. To assess interest and demand, we are offering an initial suite of three research skills sessions in March and April 2024, at subsidised fee rates, for which we are inviting external applications. Each session is independent of each other and can be applied for separately, although a fee reduction is available for anyone applying for all three sessions.
