Graduate research
The School recognises the valuable contribution of our research students to the life and culture of the School. For this reason, graduate students are encouraged to attend the School's weekly seminar program and asked to provide feedback to improve your experience.
Students are also welcome to use the facilities located in the Milgate Common Room of AD Hope. Any forms you need during your period of candidautre can be found using the links under 'Resources' below.
