Doctoral Research: Getting Started

Starting a doctorate with good working habits, a sound knowledge of what is expected of you, and a strong support network of peers can ensure the successful completion of your research.

This half-day event aims to highlight the resources and support which might facilitate your journey through your doctorate. It also provides you with an opportunity to meet doctoral researchers and staff from a variety of disciplines across the whole university.
