Meet Your College and School
Welcome to Induction Week
This session will be played in your Graduate School Welcome.
This short, practical information session will tell you what is on offer during PGR Induction Week, and how to book and attend. Many of the events across the week are repeated to allow you to create a mix and match programme.
There are also self-paced induction materials that you can use as alternative, stand-alone resources. The session will highlight which sessions are strongly recommended for all PGRs and which are offered in case they meet your needs and interests.
Graduate School Welcomes

Practical Tools for Researchers
Researcher Development
The PhD is not just the PhD! During your research you will have lots of opportunities to get additional training, do public engagement, undertake internships, teaching, and mentoring, and more. Researcher development is the collective term for this portfolio of things that you do alongside your PhD to enrich your transferable skills, foster your talents, and enrich your professional prospects. Like many universities, Glasgow uses the Vitae Researcher Development Framework to help you frame your researcher development. This interactive session will get you thinking about what opportunities are available, and help you plan and log your own development and think about your future career.
Live sessions:
This session will run twice in Induction Week. Tuesday 3rd 13:00-15:00 (in person) and Wednesday 4th 10:00-12:00 (online).
Self-paced: Summary video will be added here when available
Thriving in your Part-time Doctorate
In this workshop, participants will get a chance to start to consider some of the factors which enable them to not only survive as a part-time doctoral student but to thrive in this mode of study based on the new book Thriving in Part-time Doctoral Study: Integrating work, life and study. You will get a chance to think about all the different elements that contribute to success, from planning out your journey, to thinking about who is there to support you and how best to make use of that support. The workshop will help you to consider the journey through the doctorate and how you can build a ‘support village’ to help you on your way. Participants will leave with some practical goals to work on after the workshops.
This session will be run by Dr Kay Guccione (University of Glasgow) and Dr Jon Rainford (Open University)
This session will run as hybrid with an in person and online option available on Tuesday 3rd October 15:30-16:30.
Useful things you need to know
The PhD journey is a marathon, not a sprint, and there will be a lot of information to take in over the first weeks of your research. This session summarises some of the systems, processes, and milestones to keep in mind. It will signpost useful people and resources, as well as touching on tools and techniques that help you build sustainable working practices during your PhD.
Live session: This session will run online on Friday 6th October 13:00-14:00
Self-paced: Slides from this session, which contain lots of links to useful services and resources across UofG will be added here when available
Getting Started with Literature Reviews
The literature review is one of the first sections of a thesis and often the first ‘task’ you will be set by your supervisory team. It might be a separate chapter within your thesis, or part of a general background section. But what is required of a literature review and how do you effectively collate and synthesise all the information you need? We will talk about your experience of writing literature reviews in the past and do some thinking about different types of literature review structure, library resources, reference management, and what it means to critically appraise information at doctoral level. You will get the most out of this session if you review the self-paced materials before you come.
Live sessions: This session will run online twice in Induction Week. Wednesday 4th October 10:00-11:00 and Friday 6th 10:00-11:00
Self-paced: Work through the self-paced materials below. They will probably take you around 1 hour.

There are also regular training workshops on writing the literature review throughout the academic year, which can be booked here.
The Secret to a Stylish Thesis
Formatting your thesis so it looks like a professional document that follows the conventions of an academic dissertation is not something to leave to the end of the process. You can save yourself a lot of editorial time by setting up and using templates and conventions as you go along. This is often one of our most popular induction events, as the IT training team take you through the process, with a wealth of tips and tricks to speed up your typing as you go along.
Live sessions: This session will run twice online during Induction Week. Tuesday 3rd 13:30-15:00 and Friday 6th 10:00-11:30
Self-paced: Work through these materials. They will probably take around 45 mins https://rise.articulate.com/share/0ozgmFbEGN9_1_luDtFH6gNnhKDcijap

There is also mandatory self paced training on Data Management for all Year 1 PGRs, which can be accessed here. Additionally there are regular synchronous training workshops throughout the academic year which can be booked here.
The Final Stretch
After years of passion and hard work, eventually you will reach the final mile towards submitting your thesis. The final few months of a PhD are daunting for anyone. Even more so if you are also trying to job-hunt at the same time. These materials give you an early glimpse into the final stages of a PhD, so that you know what's coming!
Self-paced: Work through these materials. They will take around 45 mins.
Sharing Your Research
As you find out new things in your research, you are going to want to share these with others. One way to do this is to build a professional online presence as a researcher. Another is by giving presentations, both within your school or institute, and at conferences. These self-paced materials suggest that you cultivate a digital footprint which is visible, credible, consistent and something you are comfortable with. They introduce academic conferences, in particular the shift to online conferences, and give practical ways that you can engage in the networking aspects of such events. There is also advice on planning and evaluating conference talks and posters, and on how to present research engagingly and for maximum impact. It’s time to get creative!
Self-paced: First watch this video on why it is worth having an elevator pitch for your research.
