The Doctoral School

All research students at the University of Lincoln belong to the Doctoral School as well as to their own College and Schools. We seek to enhance the doctoral experience by providing a comprehensive Researcher Development programme and developing a sense of community for researchers from across all academic disciplines.

We aim to deliver an experience for all of our research students by providing a range of seminars, conferences, networking opportunities and social events, in addition to our formal development programme.

Researcher Development

The Doctoral School Researcher Development Programme is delivered under 4 thematic areas listed below. These are specifically designed to enable you to identify and develop skills and acquire the knowledge and expertise needed to achieve standards of excellence in your research and professional life. These workshops are delivered by expert facilitators from across the University and externally, and will support our students at all stages of their research.

  • Research Skills
  • Communication Development
  •  Writing & Publishing
  •  Career Development

Community

As a postgraduate research student at Lincoln you are part of a thriving research community which is supported by the Doctoral School through workshops, seminars and events. Networking with other PGRs is a valuable way to share thoughts, ideas and knowledge across disciplines. We therefore encourage you to attend Doctoral School events to meet other like-minded PGRs to enhance your research network. We are happy to provide support and help facilitate new ideas and opportunities for you, so if you have any ideas for academic, networking and social events, please contact us.

Your Feedback

At the Doctoral School, our aim is to bring your perspective firmly into all that we do. We ensure that students are at the helm of our offering and that we are able to proactively advocate engagement more broadly across the postgraduate research student community. We actively engage with your feedback and invite members of the research student community to contact us throughout their study with suggestions and ideas. We also provide platforms for students to feedback to us in different ways, through focus groups, surveys, evaluation forms, social media, or just by getting in touch.
