Before you arrive

We don't require you to do any background reading for your course before your arrival and you don't need to buy anything for your course. We will give you everything you need including access to electronic textbooks, a laboratory coat and safety glasses. Loan laptops are available for anyone who needs one. Please get in touch with us at chem-pgt@warwick.ac.uk to let us know if you’d like to borrow a laptop for the duration of the course, and to make arrangements for collection.

Welcome week

We've put together a comprehensive schedule of events for your first week with us. These events will help orientate you, allow you to meet your course mates and become familiar with the Department. Attendance is mandatory at all events and it's really important that you attend. You'll be introduced to key members of staff, and you'll learn about what is expected of you throughout your degree programme.

We know the first few weeks can be overwhelming, and you'll be receiving a lot of new information. If you're unsure of anything, then our Postgraduate Admin team are here to help. Emilie, Tim and Katie make up the team and you can contact them by email to or you call in to see them in room M3.12Link opens in a new window in Senate House.

You can hear from the Director of PGT Programmes Professor Martin Wills in his introductory talk on Monday 29 September. A recording of this will be available here after this date. If you were unable to attend this PGT Welcome Week talk then it is essential that you watch the full recording, as it contains important information about your course.
