Dear All,
A warm welcome to all postgraduate students for the new academic year. I

to make the most of your time with us.
This year, the SGRS is continuing to run a comprehensive programme of
over 90 seminars specifically designed for postgraduate research
students, both full time and part time. The aim of the programme is to
make your journey through your research degree as smooth as possible,
enabling you to successfully complete your research project and manage
the transition into your chosen career. The seminars are also designed
to develop your personal as well as professional skills. A full list of
seminars can be found on the following website:

We hope that you take the opportunity to participate in some of the
seminars on offer. We also urge you to discuss your needs with your
supervisor(s) so they can help you choose the most valuable sessions to
attend.
