Postgraduate Researcher Development

 

Postgraduate Researcher Development is part of the Cambridge Centre for Teaching & Learning (CCTL). When you attend one of our workshops, events or one-to-ones, you are meeting one of our team of Researcher Developers, who have all completed PhDs themselves and understand the postgraduate journey.

You can also see the full Centre for Teaching & Learning team on the CCTL website.
