Conferences Students are strongly encouraged to attend conferences, and a number of limited sources of financial support may be available through the Department, the Faculty, or the School of Graduate Studies. An information sheet, outlining Departmental funding schemes is available from the Departmental Office. This Department has a policy of regular subject reviews, based on student responses. You will be asked to complete evaluation forms. Student Representatives attend staff-student meetings at the end of the semester or year in order for us to gain feedback about our subjects.
Informal feedback is welcome throughout the year.
Departmental Meetings One elected student representative from the postgraduate students will represent the graduate student body at Departmental meetings each year. The meetings are held at approximately monthly intervals. The Department strongly recommends attendance at its various seminars, generally held on Friday afternoons. Details of speakers, venue etc. are made available through regular circulars and e-mail. Students are also encouraged to consider presenting their own work at these seminars.
