About PGR Student Induction 

Queen Mary's PGR Student Induction is open to all beginning PGR students. Induction runs three times a year, once at the beginning of each semester. It is a chance for the Doctoral College to welcome our PGRs formally, and to about talk the life of a PGR student at Queen Mary. Our students will be able to meet the Doctoral College Director, as well as the faculties Deputy Deans for research. They will also find out more about the training and support they are expected to receive.
