Event overview

 This GRADschool is for postgraduate researchers studying for a PhD or MPhil at the University of York and the University of Leeds.

This is a FREE residential course that is designed to help you reflect upon and develop the skills you have as a postgraduate researcher. The course encourages you to consider how you can apply your skills now and in the future to help you become a more effective researcher.

The GRADschool is designed to enable you to practice and enhance the following skills:

  • A willingness & ability to learn & acquire knowledge
  • Being creative, innovative & original in one's approach to research
  • Being flexible & open-minded
  • Demonstrating self-awareness & the ability to identify own training needs
  • Being self-disciplined, motivated & thorough
  • Being able to recognise boundaries & draw upon/use sources of support as appropriate
  • Initiative, an ability to work independently & self-reliance

 During the course you take part in a range of activities and case studies with the emphasis being placed on "learning by doing". You will work in teams with other PhD & MPhil students from the Universities of York and Leeds and with a team of experienced tutors who will either have a background in academia or business.

The York and Leeds Interpersonal Skills School is split into two parts.
