About the Graduate School

Welcome to the University of Reading Graduate School, which came into being in September 2011.

Postgraduate researchers are central to our research mission and we are committed to working with you to enhance the quality of your doctoral research experience.

As a new research student within the University, you will automatically become a member of the Graduate School, in addition to your home School or Department.

The Graduate School is the hub for all doctoral research activity across the University. We work in partnership with your home School or Department to provide you with the support and skills training that you need to fulfill your potential as a developing researcher.

We are here to champion the academic and social interests of doctoral researchers from across the University. We also aim to provide an exciting and supportive environment for you to meet others and share your interests and ideas.
