Postgraduate community
As a research student you spend significant periods focusing on your individual research interests; however, you are also a member of a vibrant and supportive postgraduate research community.
In support of your academic research there are opportunities to:
- Present your work in student seminars and gain feedback from your peers
- Attend interdisciplinary conferences both within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities and outside the University.
- Participate in departmental research seminars.
More informally, you can get involved with a variety of student-led groups and activities.
