Induction Programme for Postgraduate Research Students
The Graduate School Induction will take place between Monday 23 September and Friday 27 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 some departmental inductions, the Funded Students’ Briefing, What I Wish I’d Known panel discussion, and Graduate School Social on Wednesday 25th September.
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.
The link to register for the induction is below (please note that there is a separate link for attending the in-person social):
