Welcome!

The Graduate School serves two main purposes. Firstly, it is the main administrative office on the Hull Campus for our research students, supplementing the personal supervision and discipline-specific support provided by academic departments. Secondly, it provides a number of valuable facilites for all postgraduate students whether on taught or research programmes. Our building houses 60 networked workstations, as well as quiet study areas, photocopying facilites, lockers for storage of personal items, a seminar room and a common room for social activities. This makes it the perfect place in which to meet other postgraduate students, and we are committed to encouraging a multidisciplinary research culture in the University. Additionally, these facilities are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Graduate School is proactive in representing postgraduate students within the University and in making you feel part of the wider student community. For example, all postgraduates who enter in September are invited to an induction event aimed at familiarising new postgraduates with the University and the facilities available. The Graduate School also co-ordinates the University’s pioneering Postgraduate Training Scheme, a programme that provides high quality research and transferable skills training to our research students.
