As the new academic year gets underway, don’t forget that as a PGR you have access to workshops available through the PG Researcher Development Programme. You’ll find further information via MyBU Graduate School PGR Community, including information about the new online booking system which is now via Eventbrite.
Highlights: We will be welcoming Margaret Collins back to BU for personal development workshops and look out for details of a new academic writing workshop which will be coming soon!
If you have any questions about the Programme, please email pgrskillsdevelopment@bournemouth.ac.uk.
I look forward to seeing you at future workshops!
