Doctoral College Induction
All new Doctoral Researchers are required to take part in the Doctoral College Induction.
Doctoral College Induction has been created to help you to understand what a doctorate at Loughborough University is all about, how it is regulated, and recognise some of the issues that you are likely to face over your research period. We also cover the skills training requirements, with some suggestions for engaging with your own development including opportunities provided by the Doctoral College. We will share information about the support facilities you can access, and some of the events and facilities provided by the Students' Union. Inductions provide the opportunity for you to hear from some of the Professional Services staff who support Doctoral Researchers across the University.
Upcoming Doctoral College Inductions:
Thursday 28th July 2022, 1:30pm-4:30pm. This induction will take place in-person (Loughborough Campus), you can register to attend here. London students who cannot attend in person can register to attend via MS Teams here.
Please note that you will need to have been issued your University IT credentials to log into the Development Portal, and will need to sign in to the University's Virtual Private Network (VPN) if you are off-campus.
Inductions will continue to run throughout the year, we advise you to attend as soon as you can after starting your doctorate.
