Hello Student,


Your Doctoral College newsletter

If you’re new to Warwick this year, here’s an introduction to the Doctoral College. We look after all postgraduate researchers (PGRs) at Warwick. We sit separately from your department and faculty but work really closely with them to help deliver the best PGR experience possible, including supporting you to develop your professional skills.

We will be keeping you up to date with the latest news, opportunities, and events for PGRs in this fortnightly newsletter. Remember to let us know what you think and share your feedback at the end of this newsletter.
