Returning to study for a research degree

Are you coming to join us as a research postgrad?

There's a new book in the Whittaker Library that might interest you: -

Stuart Powell, Returning to Study for a Research Degree.  Find it in the library here.  (We can find more like this, if you tell us what you're looking for.)

The Engaging Researcher

The Engaging Researcher

booklet by Vitae

Subtitled, 'Inspiring people to engage with your research', what could be more relevant to the committed researcher?

Followers of Whittaker Live may remember the original call for stories to go into this booklet, back in Spring 2010.

Always well-written, succinct, and the size you can read in a coffee-break - copies available from Karen for research staff and doctoral students at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. 

If you can't be dragged away from your keyboard, visit www.vitae.ac.uk/researcherbooklets for a cyber version.

(But Karen recommends the coffee-break way!  Breaks are good for you, and how else can you engage with your public?)

November 2011 - February 2012

The National Postgraduate Open Days are specially tailored days of talks, workshops and networking opportunities at the Library, focusing on your research subject. Each day includes a general introduction to relevant research sources, curator talks and workshops, and details on how to get a Reader Pass. To ensure the days are accessible to research postgraduates from across the UK, students from outside London may apply for a limited number of £30 travel bursaries.


The days are extremely popular, so early booking is advised. The days are free to attend and lunch is provided.
