Research Student Induction Program 2013

The Graduate Research School is running an induction and orientation program for first year research students.  This program focuses on the information appropriate for planning Stag 1 of candidature.

The sessions will be offered on selected Wednesday afternoons from 4.00-6.00pm in Autumn and Spring semesters.  Students will be asked to book for each session.

Other workshops and sessions will be offered during the year.  These include intensive Summer and Winter schools to help students to engage more deeply with topics (such as research literacies and statistics) over a period of several days.  They will be advertised separately.
