The Postgraduate Researcher Development Team has now joined the Academic Practice Unit. The team is now based in the Hugh Binnie building on Freemen's Common, but workshops and consultations will still be based in the library (check session details for confirmation).
The Postgraduate Researcher Development Team provides University-wide help, support, and training to research students. We provide students with a wide range of opportunities to develop beyond their specialist research subject and enable them to improve their skills, broaden their life experience and enhance their employability.
