Your Feedback can help support PGR Recruitment

We’re always looking at what we have capacity to do in the Doctoral College to support PGR recruitment across all four faculties. Across 2021/22 the PGR Admissions team:

  • Introduced a new 1-2-1 Teams appointments service for potential applicants to discuss their application with us
  • Held PhD Studentship drop-in sessions for current BU students to come and chat to us about our list of studentship projects
  • Created a new Visiting PGR process and BU website page
  • Delivered an improved weekly PGR admissions report for faculties to identify areas for targeted growth
  • Started a new working relationship with the International Recruitment team to create updated PGR marketing & communications content

To help us consider PGR Admissions activities across the 22/23 academic year, we’d like to invite our academic staff involved in PGR recruitment to provide us with some feedback. We anticipate this survey will take no more than 5 minutes to complete

This short survey is split into two parts – your thoughts on the current PGR admissions process, followed by a chance for you to tell us how we can best support recruitment in your field. We’ve provided some ideas for what the Doctoral College might have resource to do this year, but we are excited to hear what you might consider to be the best ways to bring in new PGRs to your research area.
