Research Students Skills

The University of St Andrews has wide provision of training for PGR students – please follow the links below for more information. Most of the training aimed at PGR students is offered under the GRADskills programme. GRADskills aims to help you make the most of your postgraduate experience by offering a comprehensive suite of development opportunities (see below), tailored careers support and a single point of contact for postgraduate researcher development. We have a wide range of opportunities to help you improve your research capability and enhance your employability. Research students at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland are welcome to access the support on offer at St Andrews.

Please check the PDMS booking system which has the most up-to-date information about which workshops are running and in what format. Note that workshops go live for booking 5 weeks before the workshop date.
Take time to read the GRADskills workshop policy prior to attending workshops.
