Enhancing and supporting the postgraduate experience

In addition to the Edinburgh Neuroscience community, the University of Edinburgh Doctoral College provides a coordinating structure for all postgraduate researchers (PGRs), supervisors and relevant staff at the University. It is designed to enhance and support the postgraduate student experience.

How it does this

  • By bringing together staff from across the University who work with PGR students to work collaboratively and share practice
  • By coordinating training, support, events and opportunities for PGRs
  • By representing postgraduate research at University–level committees and groups
  • By supporting and enhancing PGR student representation structures and voice
