University of Cambridge GRADschool
It was a priceless experience. I wanted to thank all the tutors, they've all done an amazing job. The course is so well organised and careful thought throughout that truly impresses. I am really grateful to the University to provide us such benefitial experience. I could write pages and pages listing all the great impact it had over me and hope in others as well. A big thank you for doing this for us!!!
What is GRADschool?
GRADschools are designed to help you reflect upon and develop the skills you have as a postgraduate researcher. The courses encourage you to consider how you can apply your skills now and in the future and aim to help you make more informed choices about the next step of your career.
Many researchers who attend the course have a transformational experience—empowered to take charge of their own learning and career.
GRADschools are designed to enable you to:
- develop your personal effectiveness
- identify ways to communicate effectively
- make more informed choices about your future and own and manage the next step of your career
You can find a lot more general information about GRADschools at Vitae's Researchers' Portal.
When is the next GRADschool?
The Cambridge GRADschools are held in April and September each year. Futher information is available regarding future dates and how to register.
The courses will be held at Wyboston Lakes in Bedfordshire.
Other GRADschool opportunities
As well as the Cambridge GRADschools, Vitae also run:
- local GRADschools run by other universities
- national GRADschools
National GRADschools are open to all postgraduate researchers in the 2nd year and above from any institution, discipline and age range while only some local GRADschools run by other institutions are open.
