Induction Programme for Postgraduate Research Students
The Graduate School Induction will take place between Monday 21 September and Thursday 24 September.
Primary page content
The Graduate School Induction is an important foundation of your research degree, and all new MPhil/PhD students are encouraged to attend. It’s also a good way to start connecting with other doctoral researchers, and to begin to introduce colleagues who will become familiar faces in no time.
This year our sessions will be held primarily via Microsoft Teams, with the exception of sessions on Wednesday 24 September, and the film screening on Tuesday 23 September, which will take place on campus.
Links to the induction, along with detailed joining instructions for anyone unfamiliar with the MS Teams platform, will be provided to attendees in due course.
All new MPhil /PhD students and continuing students who would like to receive full details of the induction programme should sign up via the link below:
