Doctoral School Professional Development Programme 2026-2027
The Doctoral School is proud to announce the launch of the Professional Development Programme for doctoral researchers for Academic Year 2026-2027.
The catalogue of the programme can be found on the website [PDF]. Applications will be accepted online through the eSIMS portal on a first-come first-served basis, from Thursday 17 September to Thursday 24 September 2026.
The Semester 1 timetable is available online [PDF].
Doctoral Researchers are encouraged to discuss their choice of workshops with their supervisory team as part of a personal development plan.
Students may find instructions on how to access the details about their registered workshops and synch with their Google calendar on the website. This will allow them to view their workshops' schedule, as well as the venue and time. Information emails will no longer be sent prior to each workshop.
Registrations to present a paper or a poster during the annual Doctoral Symposium, which forms part of the University’s Research Expo (taking place on 28 May 2027), will be open in due course. Invitations to attend the symposium will be communicated at a later stage.
Resident academics pursuing doctoral studies at universities abroad, post-doctoral researchers employed by the University of Malta, as well as Research Support Officers, and Scientific Officers will once again be able to benefit from a number of the workshops on offer through an initiative being taken in collaboration with the People, Culture and Engagement Directorate.
More information can also be found on the Doctoral School website.
Further information is available by sending email.
Looking forward to seeing you!
