GRADschool is a three-day residential course for research students who are either in the middle or coming to the end of their PhDs and wondering, ‘What next?’ The course gives you a rare chance to put to one side work and other daily distractions, in order to focus on your personal learning and development. This is achieved through a balance of case studies led by our expert Tutor Team, work in small groups, and the opportunity for individual reflection. Our focus is your skills, motivations, and priorities – things like self-awareness, leadership, working with others, professional impact, employability, and career management.

Our objectives for you at GRADschool are that you will:

• Build awareness of your skills, motivations, and priorities.
• Explore teamwork by understanding differences in how we work with, and impact upon, others.
• Enhance your professional impact and employability.

Applications for GRADschool are processed as follows:

• In order to ensure fairness and to so that there is a mixture participants from different background and disciplines across all the Schools there is a longer application period.
• There are ninety six places available on this course and these will be allocated, as far as possible, to ensure the best spread across disciplines and funding sources.
• If your application is successful, you will be notified by email.
• If your application is unsuccessful, you will be placed on a waiting list. If no additional places become available, you will be given priority booking for the next GRADschool.

In the vast majority of cases applicants are successful in securing a place, especially when they make an early booking, and I would recommend that you book this time in your calendar if you are still interested in attending the GRADschool.
