DrCaroline Hargreaves

I am passionate about enhancing the postgraduate research experience. Integrated and networked research communities are core to this, and I enjoy working with postgraduate students and staff, representatives, alumni, academic and support departments and organisations to develop provision. I lead on the Personal and Professional Effectiveness Programme, Activate Student Mentoring Training and co-lead the Planning Your Career programme, while collaborating on the PG Representative Training Framework and Supervision CPD. I am a qualified coach on the Postgraduate student Coaching Programme, a qualified mediator for Research Degree Mediation, I am also Myers Briggs (MBTI®) and Belbin® accredited and a Mental Health First Aider. 

Developing researchers who can work effectively in changing environments is core to my research and presentations on doctoral well-being and doctoral alumni views. The courses I lead and teach on are geared to developing communication, connections and progression and so include some reference to self-awareness and understanding of others (provision listed below).
