In today's competitive employment environment it is increasingly recognised that postgraduate qualifications are a vital step in your career path. What is also recognised is that it is important for today's postgraduates to be trained in research techniques and methodology and to be better supported during their studies. As a result, provision for postgraduate research students has changed in recent years and has led to the formation of our Graduate Schools.
Different schools offer different facilities.
Some offer meeting spaces for postgraduate students. Others provide library or computing facilities. Most provide series of research seminars. They offer a more co-ordinated and flexible structure for postgraduate students and provide academic support, often drawing together similar interests and experts from a wide range of academic backgrounds. There are now training components in research study programmes across much of the University.
