Welcome to New Postgraduate Students

You are joining one of the UK's largest and most vibrant postgraduate communities and - along with some 1,300 postgraduate researchers and over 10,500 taught postgraduates - you will benefit from being a member of a University that combines a strong and proven track record of successful postgraduate support together with an internationally regarded reputation for teaching and research.

The Graduate School provides an umbrella structure under which the postgraduate activity of the University is organised. The Graduate School is here to help you explore and make use of the full range of personal, professional, and career development opportunities available here for postgraduates.

As Graduate Dean, I want your experience at the University of Leicester to be productive, successful, and enjoyable. If you have not already done so, please take some time to look at our website and I hope to see you at one of our induction events. In particular, new postgraduate researchers are reminded that our induction morning takes place 06 October from 09:30 in the David Wilson Library Building Lecture Theatre.

Best wishes,

Professor Sarah Hainsworth, Graduate Dean
