RGS-IBG Research Groups

The RGS-IBG website is a very useful source, in particular a list of links to the various Research Groups

Wiley’s Exchanges Blog

A place for discussion, research and ideas designed to help all academics, includes useful articles for postgraduates students across all disciplines. Said articles are written in accessible and often relatable ways by other PhD students.

The Grad Student Way

An informal, realist and often tongue in cheek look at the realities of being a PhD student in any discipline.

Wellbeing

Voices of Academia

Voices of Academia brings together the voices of academics across the globe to discuss mental health and well-being in academia. Research has shown that academics – be that undergraduates, PhD researchers, or professors – often struggle to maintain a healthy work-life balance and good mental health. Voices of Academia believe that sharing honest accounts of life in academia can help members of the academic community realise they are not alone.
