Doctoral Academy

Welcome to the Doctoral Academy

In line with University guidance, all Doctoral Academy face-to-face training and events are currently postponed. We are exploring the possibility of creating online alternatives to our workshops, and will keep all postgraduate researchers updated via email. Follow us on Twitter @CardiffDA to keep up to date with the latest news and developments.
