Using the mailing list.

by Natalie Bradshaw

Dear All, I've recently had requests to forward adverts regarding items for sale to the Graduate Research List. It was agreed last year (as per the notes below) that the list was not intended for this purpose. However, if you do wish to post a message to the list, rather than asking me to forward it, please send the email directly to graduate-research-list(a)lists.stir.ac.uk and it will be processed automatically. It's here for you - please feel free to use the list! Best wishes, Natalie. Notes of informal meeting with SGRS student representatives and John Field 1. Graduate List Agreed: 1.1 That the Graduate List should not be used to advertise items for sale, flats to rent etc 1.2 The Graduate list should be used for messages regarding: * SGRS activities * Postgraduate research student funding opportunities * Matters relating to postgraduate research student policy * Academic matters relevant to the postgraduate research student community. 1.3 The change in use of the Graduate List is communicated to students via the List.

Summer events 2 - UK GRAD SCHOOL

by Natalie Bradshaw

Dear All, Dr Jon Turner from the UK GRAD programme will be visiting the University this year to promote the UK GRAD Schools as detailed below. As the end of semester is approaching, I'd be grateful if you could reply and let me know if you would be able to attend this event over the summer break at the University (Yes), or if you would prefer that it went ahead next semester (No). www.grad.ac.uk GRAD Courses GRAD courses are designed for postgraduate research students to assess their personal skills, develop team building skills and career management skills. Increasingly the development of generic or transferable skills is seen as an important element in a PhD. The pressures to complete your PhD are such that it is very difficult to stand back and assess where you are and what you want to do next. GRAD courses offer you the chance to do just that. They are courses that allow you to identify ways to develop yourself, see the relevance of your skills in different environments and more able to promote yourself and your abilities. Attending a course can help you: * complete your PhD successfully * make a successful transition to your next position The UK GRAD Programme is involved in designing and delivering courses in many forms. There are different courses to suit you. You can attend a national or a local course. They come in different lengths too: one to five days. All GRAD courses are designed for you to learn through team-based tasks. Many of these tasks are case studies based on real events in different career sectors. Others are skills development activities, sometimes focussing on something specific like career management, sometimes outdoors, helping you identify your personal contribution to the team. You can use choosing a course to look for the mix to suit you. National GRADschools , which are 3 to 5 day residential workshops open to all 2nd and 3rd year PhDs. Some students are entitled to funded places on these courses. * No other courses offers the same breadth of experience in such a short time * GRADschools provide the optimum environment for taking time out to plan your future * They are designed to suit all subject disciplines and any amount of prior experience * It could be the most enjoyable few days of your PhD Local GRAD courses normally run by or with a local university tend to be shorter (1 - 3 days) and often non-residential. They are open to all local students and some have places for students from other institutions. Best wishes, Natalie.
