Welcome to Leeds Beckett University

To help prepare you for your first year of study and ensure you understand the academic, social and online aspects of the environment at Leeds Beckett our researcher development team hold an induction for all postgraduate research students.

Induction basics

The day will introduce you to university and the key processes involved in studying for a research degree. It will also cover the various services, support and training available to you throughout your time with us. The induction is then followed by Development Day.
The October induction has now taken place and the recording and slides can be found on MyBeckett here.
The next induction will take place on Thursday 5th February 2026 followed by a Development day on Monday 9th February 2026. Day 1 will be in person at Headingley Campus, and the Development day will take place online.

*Please note attendance at induction is expected for full-time and part-time research students
