Residential GRADschools provide a great opportunity for research students to take time out to reflect on their personal skills development. These courses allow participants to focus on the next steps from a higher degree guided by experienced facilitators in a fantastic setting. A collaboration between the universities of Bath, Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth and UWE will support the running of two GRADschools in 2010. These are scheduled for:

  • Monday 24th – Thursday 27th May 2010
  • Tuesday 17th – Friday 20th August 2010

Both courses are to be held in the relaxing and beautiful Buckland Hall located in the Brecon Beacons. All accommodation, meals and transport (from Bristol Parkway Railway Station) will be provided at no cost to the student.

If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity please read through the guidance and complete the application form, returning it to your university GRADschool coordinator (see right for details).

Participant Comments:

"It was great to meet so many different but like-minded people"

"I really underestimated the benefit of the time and space to reflect and learn outside of my work. Invigorating!"

"Great opportunity to take time out, focus on self and evaluate and reflect on what has been achieved so far and what one hopes to achieve in the future."

"Overall, absolutely excellent. Great food, perfect venue, inspiring tutors and above all talented people doing PhDs. Main thing that I will take away is a new sense of my advanced skills in many areas and self recognition of my achievements and talent!"
