Training and development for researchers in the Faculty of Social Sciences


In the Faculty of Social Sciences, we value the talent, ambition and dedication of our researchers, who join us from all around the world and from a diverse range of disciplines and backgrounds. We are committed to supporting you to reach your full potential and to achieve your career ambitions, whether within or outside of academia.

You will develop your knowledge and understanding of your chosen research area, by working with world-leading academics and exceptional research colleagues, and the faculty offers an ongoing programme of professional training and development opportunities to enable you to develop the skills that employers - both within an outside academia - really value.

We understand the value of tailored programmes and opportunities to enable you to take control of your own professional development at every stage of your career, from postgraduate researcher, to postdoctoral researcher and beyond.
