Hello and welcome to the new Graduate School website! Here you will find links to all of the support available to you during your doctoral studies, booking information for Graduate School training courses, funding opportunities that you can apply for in support of your studies and access to our fantastic range of events that you can access throughout the year. Let us know of any additional information or links that you would like to see on the site. We would also like to encourage your contributions to the website, especially through this blog. Feel free to contribute anything that reflects aspects of PGR life at Loughborough, or advertise relevant events and activities that others might be interested in. We hope that our new website will become an integral part of your Loughborough Doctoral Experience!

Please note that we have an exciting programme of events coming up over the next few months opening with the East Midlands Universities Association Conference which will be held at Loughborough in September. Come along, network with fellow doctoral students from across the region, showcase your work and support your colleagues in the 3-minute thesis competition – it promises to be quite an event!
