New doctoral researchers will be invited to an induction event by their College doctoral team.

You will be welcomed into your research area and provided with important information, focusing particularly on the initial stages.  If you have not already been contacted about this, please get in touch with your local doctoral school team contact

You will be given access to an interactive Welcome e-learning module, and three follow-on sessions will be offered, hosted by the Researcher and Innovator Development Academy with input from the Doctoral School and Research Ethics teams.

You can find associated materials on the RIDA blackboard site under ‘Induction Packs’.
