Welcome!

Join our traditional information session, which will introduce you not only to the fundamentals of doctoral study, student support services, and the main funding and grant opportunities, but also to the experiences and insights of current doctoral students.

The entire session will be conducted in English.

The event is followed by the Academic Year Opening Ceremony, so an enjoyable social and cultural programme is guaranteed!

Programme

The Academic Year Opening Ceremony and cultural programme will begin at 17:00.

You will also have the opportunity to take part in a networking event with international students, featuring a pub quiz, student bands, and much more!
