Upcoming information sessions

Introduction to Graduate School in North America

 Online  Monday 01/06/26, 13:00 - 14:00

Thinking about studying in the USA or in Canada? The diverse range of courses and institutions, the requirements of the application process and the need to thoroughly research funding options mean that you should ideally start your investigations more than a year ahead.

This is a practical session, covering course and institution choice, the application process, standardised tests and funding. It aims to help you make a start. Particularly of interest to penultimate year students thinking of postgraduate study in 2026.

Introduction to Further Study

 Online  Wednesday 03/06/26, 16:00 - 17:00

This session will help you make sense of the options for further study and how to pursue them. With so many course types, subjects, universities, and funding routes available, choosing the right path can feel overwhelming. This session will guide you through what you need to know to make informed decisions, navigate applications, and explore funding opportunities.

This event will be particularly useful if you are considering applying for a master's or PhD programme, either now or in the future, and want a clear overview of your next steps and are comparing postgraduate options in the UK or abroad and want advice on how to choose the right course or institution.
