Upcoming Events

Postgraduate Induction

Our induction programme highlights the skills needed to be an effective researcher, as well as introducing you to the facilities and resources available to postgraduates and how we can support you in your studies.

The upcoming induction is scheduled for Friday 30 August 2019 from 2pm to 3pm in H1B13.

Coffee & Cake Session

This is a platform for postgraduates to get together and mingle among themselves. It aims to connect postgraduates with one another in a relaxing and comfortable environment. Postgraduates may take this opportunity to temporarily get away from their work and catch-up with fellow postgraduates before returning to their routine with a fresh mind.

The upcoming session is scheduled for Friday 30 August 2019 from 3pm to 4pm in H1B14.
