Animations & Interaction

The Leeds Beckett University website occasionally uses animations to page elements and animated gifs to add impact to pages. If you wish to stop them from playing for accessibility purposes or for personal preference then please see the guidance below. Please note that browsers sometimes change how they operate, so please refer to your browser help files to find their latest information.
How do I turn off animations?

Chrome

Chrome users will need to use browser extensions. Animation Policy from Google will help you set your own preferences.

Microsoft Edge

There is currently no way to disable animations within Microsoft Edge. Users of Edge (Chromium) browser can install the Chrome extensions above and use them.

Internet Explorer

To stop animations on a single page you can just press the 'Esc' key. This will stop the animation on that page. If you wish to restart the animations you need to refresh the page. To permanently disable the playing of animated GIF images, open Internet Options > Advanced tab. Under the Multimedia section, uncheck the Play animations in webpage check-box, click Apply and Exit and then restart your computer.

Firefox

Type about:config in Firefox address bar and hit Enter to open Settings. Search for the image.animation_mode flag and change its value from Normal to None. Once you restart Firefox this will disable animations.

Research Training Programme (RTP)

As a research student (except if you are studying for a Masters by Research or PhD by Published Works degree) it is a compulsory part of your degree to take part in our Research Training Programme and provide a record of your completed training.

Alongside The Graduate School's dedicated training and development team, your supervisor will support and guide you in your training.

We offer a series of workshops and seminars that will equip you with the skills needed to successfully complete your research degree and develop transferable skills for your future career.

The RTP can be viewed and booked by clicking on 'Calendar' on SAM. The Research Training Programme (VLE001098) module on MyBeckett also offers a range of online training resources.

Research training policy

The skills you need to develop are unique to you. To help identify your skills and those you would like to either improve or gain, you will need to complete a training needs analysis. The results will help you find the training or activities so you can fulfil your development aims.

Evidence of this, your training needs analysis, and reflections on your learning experiences combine to form your research training portfolio. Our research training policy gives more detail on this process.

Research support within the library offer a range of support for our postgraduate research students and staff, including tailored PhD student support and Skills for Learning, a collection of online resources to support the development of academic skills.
