Great Hall, Wills Memorial Building

The Bristol Doctoral College is delighted to invite you to our PGR Welcome to Bristol event.

We think Bristol is a special place to do a research degree. It’s not just the culture of innovation, outstanding facilities and unique opportunities that will help you achieve your research ambitions — it’s also our rich and vibrant research community. 

This event is open to all PGR students, whether you are a new starter or returning to study. It offers a great opportunity to meet your research community and learn about the resources available to PGR students. The event will feature welcome talks from Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Evelyn Welch, and Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research Professor Harry Mellor. Roundtable-style discussions on key PGR-related topics such as supervision and building a community, as well as the opportunity to meet representatives from departments such as Sport, Exercise & Health, the Library and the Careers Service. 

This event will be followed by a drinks reception.

The first 90 people to sign up will be eligible to collect a free University of Bristol scarf (worth £30!) when you attend the event, so make sure you sign up today.
