Watch now - PGR Alumni Panel Session
On 30 August 2023, we hosted an online PGR alumni panel session, bringing together a diverse panel of recent research graduates, to share their stories and experiences of their time at Edinburgh as students, what they have gone on to do, and how they have stayed connected to Edinburgh since graduating.
If you couldn't make the session live, or would like a re-cap of what was covered, you can watch a recording of the session by clicking the link below (MyEd log-in required). Please note, every effort has been taken to produce accurate subtitles but there may still be some errors.
Watch 'How to...' pre-recorded videos or join live online sessions
Including content specifically relevant for PGR students, our 'How to...' sessions provide concise and key information to help you prepare for your postgraduate student journey.
We really recommend that you watch both our 'How to...' pre-recorded videos and the recordings from our live online sessions which took place between Monday 28 August - Friday 1 September.
