Doctoral Times
The Doctoral Times was a University newsletter for doctoral and higher research degree students that ran from 2010-2023. We do not currently plan to publish any further issues, but you can download past editions here.
Last edition
Our final edition of the Doctoral Times, published in Summer 2023, focused on Open Research. Discussing the challenges and benefits of sharing your research, it included a wide range of resources and support to help you along the way.
Previous editions
Please note that each edition includes the date of publication, and articles will represent the PGR landscape as at was at that time - some terms, rules, priorities and University services will have changed in the intervening years. Much of the content will still be of interest however, which is why we have included the full archive below.
