PGR undertaking training at FACT

PGR Training Catalogue

The University of Liverpool is dedicated to helping postgraduate researchers to identify, design and plan their development. Our aim is to provide support to PGRs to complete their doctoral programme, while also supporting their personal and professional development, assisting them with the successful transition to the next stage of their career.

As a postgraduate researcher, you will annually complete a Development Needs Analysis (DNA) form. This enables you to reflect on your current skills and identify further training that will help you with your PhD and future career. This PGR Training Catalogue will allow you to match your current training needs in each section of the DNA with the online and in-person training that is available to you.
