Postgraduate Consultancy Projects

We undertake individual consultancy projects for Universities (or individual Schools and Departments) or other organisations that may range from single day advisory meetings to longer-term projects.

We also undertake major strategic projects relating to a range of national postgraduate issues for organisations such as Research Councils. In autumn 2007, we were commissioned to work on a project for ESRC, together with Oakleigh Consultancy Ltd, to gather evidence to enable ESRC to take strategic decisions on the distribution of its funding.

Innovative Solutions

We offer a consultancy team which has a unique combination of qualities, the experience of higher education management, a deep understanding of academic policy development and practice, rigour in research methods and proven expertise in higher education marketing.

This combination delivers a thoroughly innovative approach to problem solving, producing solutions which ensure sustained competitive advantage.

Powerful Strategies

Whether your challenge is long term institutional postgraduate planning, a strategy for developing and launching a suite of new programmes in a single department, or creating a sustainable staff development programme for researchers, Postgraduate Directions will work with you to create powerful new strategies and solutions.
