An interdisciplinary postgraduate-focused research conference designed to develop communication skills, team work and innovation as well as fostering international cooperation.

The Graduate School Skills Development & Support Handbook provides guidance on the personal and professional development opportunities, and sources of support, available to all postgraduate researchers at the University of Birmingham. Produced annually, the Skills Development & Support Handbook is distributed to all postgraduate researchers (new and current) and compliments the subject-specific guidance provided by Departments and Schools.

Volunteering is an often-overlooked route to skills development. Working with the Guild of Students, the Graduate School promotes a range of volunteering options to enable postgraduates to develop a range of invaluable skills while also helping the local (and wider) community.

The Graduate School Networking Programme runs throughout the academic year, with events held once a month. Postgraduate researchers are encouraged to attend the events to hone their networking skills and get to know other postgraduates. The events also offer excellent opportunities for postgraduate researchers to develop essential communication skills by presenting their research to a mixed discipline audience.
