The Bristol Doctoral College is delighted to invite you to our PGR Welcome to Bristol event.

We think Bristol is a special place to do a research degree. It’s not just the culture of innovation, outstanding facilities and unique opportunities that will help you achieve your research ambitions — it’s also our rich and vibrant research community. 

This event is open to all PGR students, whether you are a new starter or returning to study. It offers a great opportunity to meet your research community and learn about the resources available to PGR students.
