CALL FOR PAPERS: Thesis Forum

The thesis forum is a friendly and welcoming meeting in the Library (and online) for research postgraduates to share tips on the practice of researching and writing a PhD thesis. Whether you're in Arts or Sciences, a UK or International student, waiting for your probation review or close to submission, you all have one aim in common: to survive the process of getting your PhD and emerge from it successful and unscathed! If you are off-campus you can still join in- we broadcast our thesis forum as a webinar, and you simply need to login on the day.
