Postgraduate Discovery Days
The Postgraduate Discovery Day event runs three times a year and offers a general introduction to on-campus study at the University of Edinburgh.
Each session was very informative. The speakers and moderators explained things clearly and answered questions thoroughly. The event was well-structured and well-timed. All the staff and speakers were very polite and helpful. It gave me the information and reassurance I needed to bolster my confidence to apply.
Who can attend
This event is particularly relevant for those who have not yet applied to an on-campus postgraduate programme at the University of Edinburgh. But even if you have already applied, you will find many of the sessions useful (for instance on funding or Edinburgh life).
