News and guidance
Our commitment to your continuous training and research development
We remain as dedicated as ever to delivering the highest quality training and development support for our postgraduate students and early career research staff amidst the ongoing pandemic.
We have been monitoring updates on COVID-19 closely and in light of the extension of CMCO (conditional movement control order), we are maintaining our online delivery of training and development provisions until further notice.
As a postgraduate research student, you may start your research degree at different times of the year. We send out a welcome email upon request to new postgraduate researchers which contains information about registering on Moodle, university support services and upcoming events as well as training and other opportunities.
As an early career research staff or a research supervisor, we welcome you to engage with us as we offer a range of research and supervision workshops to help you enhance your personal and professional development.
