Our community
The Doctoral Academy offers a focal point for networking, learning and collaboration with other postgraduate research students across the university, as part of a diverse and multidisciplinary research community.
The world of academia can be harsh and isolating, but the Doctoral Academy is an oasis where PhD students from different academic backgrounds can come together.
Getting involved
We provide a variety of opportunities for you to get involved in your wider research community.
