What we do
The Graduate School provides an inclusive, cross-University focus for all staff and doctoral researchers engaged in research activity. Each year we offer a wide range of developmental activities, including seminars, networking events, and practical workshops, as well as opportunities to celebrate the work of our doctoral researchers through events, such as the Graduate School Festival and Three Minute Thesis Competition. These events enable our research community to share best practice, celebrate research achievements, and engage in topics which contribute to personal and professional development.
The Graduate School is also the administrative and support hub for all doctoral researchers at the University of Westminster, and works closely with School colleagues and Graduate School Committees. We provide a range of services relating to the academic administration and maintenance of your student record as well as being the main contact for issues relating to:
- Enrolment
- Progression and awards
- University procedures and regulations
- Doctoral Researcher Development Programme
- The Virtual Research Environment (VRE)
