We have redeveloped this website.
You will find some introductory information about the Doctoral Academy on our postgraduate research pages.
If you're already registered as a doctoral researcher, you can access the new internal website on SharePoint.
This website will be redirected shortly.
Your research group
During your time at Manchester, you will become part of a research group based in the relevant Department or Institute.
An important feature of the postgraduate researcher experience is joining a research group who are all specialists in their chosen field. The research group provides a forum for close support and guidance, and it should become one of the many rewarding experiences of your research programme.
You will interact with other postgraduate researchers in your research group, and usually with other academics and postdoctoral researchers. You can learn a lot through these interactions and in many cases, your research project may involve your participation in a wider research team, often including external collaborators.
