Graduate Research Academy: An tAcadamh Taighde Iarchéime
The Graduate Research Academy (GRA) is Maynooth University’s central and over-arching support for postgraduate research students and their supervisors. All postgraduate research students are members of the Graduate Research Academy, in addition to being registered within an academic department, school or institute at Maynooth University. The GRA provides supports including advice, training, development and mentorship, recognising the unique research pathway of each postgraduate student. The GRA provides a range of research postgraduate training supports including a suite of professional skills training modules. The Academy oversees the MU Research Skills Development Programme (RSDP) which addresses the core components of doctoral education as outlined in the Irish Universities Association Doctoral Skills Statement, and underpinned by the National Framework for Doctoral Education. The RSDP provides opportunities for postgraduate research students to develop advanced research and analysis skills, as well as a broad range of transferable skills through interdisciplinary modules and workshops. The GRA oversees the quality assurance of the graduate research experience and formulation of policies and processes for admission, progression and examination of research students. The GRA works with the postgraduate research community at Maynooth University to enhance the graduate research experience and to promote and celebrate the achievements of academy members.
