Supporting your postgraduate studies
As a postgraduate student within the College of Arts, Humanities and Business you will find a vibrant community of like minded individuals, and an excellent level of support from College staff.
Training and Support
As well as the support you will receive from your academic supervisory team, you will benefit from the CAHB Graduate School’s varied portfolio of research development events and activities. These have been designed to help you become a well-rounded researcher, fully equipped with the advanced research and communicative skills needed for a career in academia today – and also to encourage you to meet with peers and other research staff across disciplines. Do make the most of these opportunities!
Postgraduate Research Travel Bursary
All postgraduate research students in CAHB may be eligible to apply for Postgraduate Research Travel Bursary during their period of registration, in order to present their research at an academic conference or to visit a relevant archive or library. In order to apply, you must have successfully completed your first Annual Postgraduate Review. If applying to attend a conference, bursaries will only be granted to applicants whose abstracts have been accepted by the relevant conference committee. If applying to visit a library or archive, please provide a case for why this visit is essential. Priority will be granted to postgraduate researchers whose project is not already externally funded and to projects that can make a contribution to your School/College research culture. Your supervisor(s) support is essential.
The bursary awarded to any single postgraduate will not exceed the sum of £150 in total within any academic year. If interested, discuss this opportunity with your supervisor in the first instance and complete this application.
All application forms need to be sent to the College of Arts, Humanities and Business Postgraduate Support Officer Ms Eleri Thomas: e.m.thomas@bangor.ac.uk
Payment of the bursary will be made after the research and/or conference trip has been completed and a BU Expense Reclaim form has been submitted, together with all relevant receipts, to the CAHB Postgraduate Support Officer.
CAH Postgraduate Development Programme
Every year we put together a programme of research development workshops, delivered by experienced academics in the College of Arts, Humanities and Business. The workshops are tailored to suit the distinct needs of students at an early, mid and late stage in their course. By attending these workshops you will develop a range of skills that underpin success in contemporary academia, including effective research communication (written, oral, visual, digital), publishing, time-management, teaching and impact.
CAH Postgrad Café
This is an informal gathering where you will meet other postgraduate students at CAHB and have the opportunity to present your research project and discuss your experiences. Watch this space for the date and venue of the next CAHB Postgrad Café and follow the hashtags #PhDChat and #PhDChatBangor to join in the ongoing conversation!
