GRADskills programme - postgraduates
The GRADskills Programme was launched in 2005 for the benefit of all PhD and MPhil students studying at the University of St Andrews. It aims to help postgraduates achieve their research and career goals by providing opportunities to enhance their generic personal and professional skills, and to improve their employability after graduation. Topics included in the Programme have been recommended by national research authorities such as Research Councils UK, and by staff and students at St Andrews.
GRADskills includes a wide range of workshops, seminars, conferences, study visits and other development activities which focus on areas such as writing skills, becoming a better presenter, how to communicate more effectively and many more. Some events are offered in collaboration with 'Vitae', Britain’s highly regarded researcher training organisation, while others utilise professional trainers, consultants and academics, all of whom are experts in their own fields.
Students are kept up-to-date with on-going programme developments and opportunities throughout the year via the dedicated GRADskills pages on the CAPOD website, and more information on how students can participate in the programme is given at Postgraduate Induction.
