Weekly Doctoral College Online Hangouts (every Tuesday lunchtime)

Weekly online hangouts are scheduled throughout the year in response to a request received from PGR students for a space to meet virtually to discuss a particular topic, or to simply share their thoughts and offer advice. Therefore, these sessions are generally interactive and are facilitated by the Doctoral College. Webinars are accessed via canvas and do not require an advanced booking. The webinar opens 15 minutes before the session, please do  not try to enter before then.

These sessions run from 1pm - 2pm every Tuesday via Canvas.
