Buddy Scheme

We are running a Buddy System to provide new students with an experienced buddy to provide peer support throughout their first year with the programme. To sign up for support from current students, please read the Buddy Guidelines and then fill in this Sign-up form for new students.

Pre-Induction Webinar

On Thursday 10th September at 12:30pm GMT, MIBTP hosted a webinar for the incoming cohort to meet with our directors, administrators and student representatives, and ask questions in advance of joining the programme. The presentation and Q&A parts of the session were recorded and can be accessed via the link below:

Cohort Group Chat

A member of your cohort has set up a WhatsApp group chat to give you the opportunity to get to know the cohort and to share information before the course starts. You can sign up via the link below:

Please note that this WhatsApp chat is not administered by the University of Warwick and will not be monitored by staff. If you have any concerns about material being shared in the chat, you can alert the MIBTP team via MIBTP@warwick.ac.uk, or anonymously via Report and Support.

Postgraduate Events and Information

Your home university will have welcome information outlining various events and services available to PhD researchers. There may also be information on non-MIBTP welcome activities that you may wish to attend. Please consult your home university's webpages to find out more.

Student Blogs and Q&A

The following question and answer pages were created by MIBTP students. They answer the most common questions regarding the MIBTP programme and provide tips and ideas for organising accommodation, mini-projects and PIPS. It is worth reading all of them, not just those which seem to correspond to you best (e.g. same University, department) as they are short and all contain valuable insights. Please note that elements of the programme are changing for this academic year, so some of the responses may be outdated.
