Departments can make a request for any of the Graduate School’s existing workshops to be delivered to their cohorts of students.

• Cohort delivery is subject to tutor availability.
• In order to ensure that these courses are viable and to avoid cancellation, 90% or more of the students in the cohort should sign up to attend
• There is no charge for cohort delivery except where:
  • Charges for materials apply i.e. Myers Briggs
  • Or where accommodation and subsistence is required i.e. residential or longer course

This element of our provision should only be booked if attendance is made compulsory for your particular cohort of students. It is the responsibility of the departmental organiser to ensure full participation on a cohort delivery session.

Please note:

• Applications will not be considered if the criteria listed above is not met
• Courses with low sign up will be cancelled in advance

These are courses which are not part of the Graduate School’s programme, but which are available to cohorts, by request only.

Course organisers and administrators are able to reserve a certain number of places on many of the courses from the existing timetabled Professional Skills and MasterClass programme. Booking for these courses will be open to all, but a certain number of places will be reserved for your students. Block booked sessions may be arranged throughout the year (please see further details below).

*Please note that you may need to make alternative arrangements if class size prohibits block booking.
