The University of Exeter is committed to ensuring that its research students are given the training and support to develop high-level professional skills required for careers in academia, commercial or public sectors. All of our research students are given the opportunity to get involved in some form of teaching. Whether it is through designing and giving demonstrations in the laboratories, working closely with our academics to design practicals and exercises, or taking lectures, there is something to suit your needs. On our Penryn Campus, there are several training options open to our students, including grant and fellowship application workshops, intensive programmes highlighting ways in which to help get scientific literature published, and training in statistical programming. You will be given high quality research supervision to develop and nurture your scientific potential. We have adopted a tailored supervision approach to help best suit your requirements. Supervisors are easily accessible, and are enthusiastic about working directly with postgraduate research students. As well as having regular timetabled meetings with your supervisor, our academics also operate an 'open door' policy to all postgraduate students. This ensures you have instant access to world-leading researchers who will share their expertise and ideas with you. You will also have regular meetings with your supervisory team, other members of your research group, and mentors.
