We offer training to all social sciences research students across our partner Universities.
Our training sessions are linked to our 7 interdisciplinary pathways, focus on developing advanced methodological expertise, and/or focus on areas of broad appeal to all research students (for example, relating to academic and professional skills development, researcher wellbeing or post-PhD careers and employability). WRDTP training is organised and supported by experienced academic researchers with disciplinary and methodological expertise from across the social sciences.
