This session is compulsory for all new research students as it introduces many essential aspects of studying for a research degree at Brookes. This includes advice on what is involved, how to officially register your project, goals and milestones, how to plan your time and keep up momentum and supervisor-student relationships. It introduces new research students to policies, people, support and resources – such as library resources and the generic skills training programme – that will help ensure your success.

The induction will finish with a networking and celebration event from 5pm - 7pm (room to be confirmed). There you will have the opportunity to meet current students, supervisors and members of the Graduate College Team.
