Ahead of this year’s Midlands Graduate School Student Conference (23 June, hosted online by the University of Birmingham), we’ll be holding an online Pre-conference Workshop for 1+3/+4 students currently completing a research training Masters programme in the afternoon of 22 June 2021. This will be an opportunity, ahead of the main conference, for MA students to consolidate their research training, share their PhD project plans and pick up tips on starting a PhD. We hope that all Midlands Graduate School Masters students will attend the workshop and we’re asking all attendees to give a short (max 10 mins) presentation on their proposed PhD study.
