University of Cambridge Local GRADschool
I wanted to say, heartfelt thanks again for the GradSchool experience. It was amazingly instructive - it has provided some great tools for thinking about my future and in the context of my skills and weaknesses, and has opened doors for self exploration that I did not know existed. Very happy I got the opportunity to attend.
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.
