Research training and courses to enhance the employability skills of our research students are provided by the Graduate school and students are encouraged to participate in these. There is a well-established sociology seminar series which runs throughout the year and includes both internal and external speakers. Two ESRC-funded seminar series are held by members of the sociology research group.
