The Doctoral College Information Fair welcomed research students from all disciplines to 10 Wests' Atrium on Tuesday 29 January.
Students had the opportunity to grab a coffee and browse stands from a wide range of teams and supports services from across the university including DoctoralSkills, Careers, Student Services, The SU Bath, Postgraduate Association, Team Bath, Kaleidoscope, The Library and Computing Services to name a few.
Feedback from the fair was positive with many students saying they had found it ‘really friendly & helpful’ to talk to the experts and discovered lots of opportunities that are available to research students that they weren’t already aware of.
PhD student and Doctoral Welcome Team Ambassador, Jo Davies, took over the Doctoral College Twitter account talking to exhibitors and tweeting live from the event. You can take a look at Jo’s Tweets via @DoctoralBath and by searching #bathdoctoralfair on Twitter.
