Induction sessions
The Centre for Doctoral Studies holds a series of inductions for new postgraduate research students at the beginning of academic year and midway through each year.
The aim of these events is to welcome new research students to King’s and to provide an introduction to life as a doctoral student at King’s.
These sessions cover all Postgraduate Research courses (MPhil/PhD) and provide students with a vital introduction to the training, support, and wide range of services available to them. Induction events also include contributions from current students and student representatives, who present and answer questions on life as a PhD student, their experience at King's and more.
