The Doctoral College was established in 2013/14. All our postgraduate research students studying in the UK or with our partners abroad, part-time or full time belong to both their Faculty and the Doctoral College.

The Doctoral College is managed through the Research Policy Unit and uses the combined expertise in the Research Hub to deliver its mission. There is dedicated administrative support for this activity that will provide a central contact point for staff and for PGR students.

The Doctoral College:

Coordinates and delivers a comprehensive programme of research training:
Research Skills Development Workshops for research students
Research Supervisors Development Programme (RSDP) for research supervisors.
Builds an overarching and vibrant research community that unites and supports all research students.
Contributes to the development of early research staff e.g. The Early Researcher Award Scheme (ERAS). www.wlv.ac.uk/ERAS
Coordinates research student representation.
Organises research events and conferences.
