GRADschool at Stirling 24-29th June

by Wilma Ellis

Just to drawn your attention to the fact that there will be a 5 day UK GRADschool at Stirling ( in the Management Centre) from June 24th - 29th Any penultimate or final year doctoral student is eligible to attend a national GRADschool. ( If places are available, it would be worth arguing for a place if you would be approaching the end of your first year of study). These courses are free to students funded by AHRB, BBSRC, EPSRC, ESRC, MRC, NERC or PPARC . For other students a five day course costs £655 +VAT (£114.62 VAT) 5-day GRADschool The traditional 5-day GRADschools are the most popular choice of course, allowing the most time for 'digesting' what you are learning by individual reflection and discussion in your working groups. They provide a rounded programme of both personal and career development. Personal development focuses on communication skills, presentation skills, networking and creativity as well as the overriding theme of teamworking. Career development encompasses both your PhD and your future career. Group discussion sessions cover issues relating to the progress of your PhD, along with suggestions on helping you gain the motivation and skills to complete successfully. CVs for academic and non-academic posts are discussed, and a mock interview is normally a major feature on one of the days.

Ceilidh 27th March

by Wilma Ellis

Hello everyone, As part of the English Department's Postgraduate Conference arrangements, we will be holding a ceilidh on Saturday 27th March from 8pm -1am at the Uni Management Centre. The ceilidh is open to everyone - postgrad, undergrad and staff - and is a great chance for all PhD students to socialise, not only with Stirling postgrads, but with research students from all over the UK and beyond! Not all of our delegates are researchers in English studies, so you never know who you might meet! Our Ceilidh band is Skelpit-Lug, who have an excellent reputation, so it promises to be a really good night. Admission is £5, and tickets are available from Jessica Dyson or Jennifer Walters in Pathfoot Room B22, or you can pay at the door. For more information, contact outsidersconference(a)stir.ac.uk <mailto:outsidersconference@stir.ac.uk> Hope to see some of you there. Bring your friends! All the best, Jessica.
