That's Me Focus Groups: Current postgraduate researchers

Share your views of doctoral recruitment and induction

The That’s Me project team will be holding focus groups for Global Majority Postgraduate Researchers, from all BCU faculties, to share their views on applying for a doctoral degree at BCU and how this process could be made fairer and more inclusive. 

At these focus groups, you will be able to:

  • Share your insights on application processes.
  • Reflect on the early stages of your doctoral studies, including induction.
  • Help us shape a more inclusive application and induction processes for future researchers.

These focus groups are open to postgraduate researchers at BCU who identify as Global Majority.
