Our virtual postgraduate presentations series have been designed to help guide you through the application journey for postgraduate study. Whether you need help selecting your subject area, submitting your application or securing funding, you will be able to receive the information and support you need to take your next step. 

Each session will last for around an hour and contain three separate 20-minute presentations focusing on a different element of postgraduate study. You will also get plenty of opportunities to ask any questions you have during and after the session.

You are more than welcome to join us for one or both of the sessions. You can select either one or both days on the booking form.
