Registration
Graduate School
Studying Science or Engineering at research level means that you will be part of a Graduate School community which provides the highest level of support to its students. Our research students make a vital contribution to the University’s research culture and to its international reputation. Email the Graduate School with questions about starting your research degree:
PGR Induction week
A University-wide induction week will be held Monday 2 to Friday 6 October, including a mix of online and in-person sessions to give you information to ensure your successful transition to research study. There are also informal sessions where you can meet other students. Further information will be provided by email.
