Graduate Research Forum
For 2023/2024
Thursdays 17:00-18:30 pm, FAB2.43
The Graduate Research Forum meets weekly during the Autumn and Spring Terms.
Attendance is REQUIRED for all research students in their first year of study. Students in other years of study may also attend the Graduate Research Forum, and many do so – especially when the topic to be considered relates directly to their own field of interest, or offers advice on skills and training that may be relevant.
Please contact pghistoryoffice@warwick.ac.uk if you are a student in another Department, or from another University with a Warwick based supervisor, and are interested in joining the GRF sessions
