Graduate School

Empowering postgraduate researchers through inclusive support, expert-led training, and real-world impact.

Join a vibrant research community shaping knowledge and driving positive change.

The UoG Graduate School is the academic home for our postgraduate research community.

We provide a supportive, inclusive, and intellectually stimulating environment that equips researchers with the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to thrive. From application through to award, we’re here to guide, develop, and champion your research journey.

We are proud to foster a dynamic and diverse research culture. Through academic seminars, social events and collaborative projects, our postgraduate researchers form lasting connections and contribute to a thriving research environment. We work closely with external partners, offering real-world research opportunities that translate ideas into practice and impact into action.

The Graduate School plays a vital role in shaping the next generation of researchers. We are committed to nurturing curiosity, building research capability, and supporting the creation of knowledge that responds to today’s global challenges.

Postgraduate research development programme

Research support

At UoG you’ll join an inclusive and supportive research community that values diverse perspectives and lived experiences.

We foster a collaborative environment where all postgraduate researchers are encouraged to thrive both academically and personally.

In addition to regular supervisory support, you’ll have access to a wide range of academic and social events designed to help you build connections, share ideas, and grow your research network. From seminars to informal meet-ups, we ensure you feel supported, empowered, and part of a vibrant community throughout your research journey.

We actively support our current postgraduate research students through their studies; we have advice, support and guidance on all aspects of the postgraduate research student journey. This can be found in our PGR Moodle site – the PGR hub.

Research training

Our postgraduate researchers benefit from a comprehensive programme of training and development opportunities – from core research skills to advanced methodologies and specialist techniques.

We work in partnership with external organisations to provide real-world research experiences, enabling postgraduate research students to apply their knowledge in professional settings and embed findings directly into practice.

This collaborative, practice-based approach enhances the development of our researchers while delivering meaningful impact for the communities and sectors we serve.
