Postgraduate research induction timetable for politics and international relations
Your induction is a programme of activities and events to introduce you to your school and course. It's important that you attend each induction activity to give you the best start to the year.
We’re looking forward to welcoming you to our school and have created an informative induction programme to help ease you into university life.
Our sessions will introduce you to:
- the structure of your course
- our academic and administrative staff
- all the resources and support available to you at the 糖心原创
Session locations
To guide you around campus, we’ve given you some help to get to the different buildings (see ‘venue’ in the schedule for more details).
- – gives detailed information about accessibility of buildings across our university campuses. In your induction timetable you will find the unique link to each building to support you in finding the correct room.
- Campus map – has building numbers to help you find where your talks are located. See the University Park Campus map (PDF).
