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 and we advise that you attend as soon as you can after registering.
