The Graduate School

You will also become a member of the University’s Graduate School, which is the hub for all doctoral research activity across the University.

The Graduate School works in partnership with your home School or Department to provide you with the support and skills training that you need to fulfill your potential as a developing researcher. We are here to champion the academic and social interests of doctoral researchers from across the University. We also aim to provide an exciting and supportive environment for you to meet others and share your interests and ideas.
