Postgraduate Research Skills Training Sessions (discounted package)



Overview

Research skills training sessions open to postgraduate researchers

In line with the our mission and values, the Department's Graduate School aims to broaden access to researcher training by enabling and encouraging participation from those outside of the University. In 2024 we launched a trial series of research skills sessions open to postgraduate researchers external to the University and, due to the sucess of these, the sessions have been expanded for spring 2025.

Taking place in April 2025, each session is independent of each other and can be applied for separately, although a fee reduction of 20% is available for anyone applying for all five sessions by selecting the green 'apply' button at the top of this page (£300 instead of £375 if booked individually).

These hybrid sessions are primarily aimed at doctoral students but all postgraduate researchers external to the University are welcome to attend.

All sessions can be attended either in Oxford or online.
