Current postgraduate research students

Information and logins for current postgraduate research students in our MScR and PhD programmes.

Staying in contact – your student email

The PGR Office and other University teams will use your University email account to communicate with you, so please check your email regularly.

 

Connecting with your peers and noticeboard - Microsoft Teams

You are encouraged to join the GeoSciences PGR Student Team via Microsoft Teams. This is a space that you can use as a message board to interact with your peers and the PGR Team. You can take advantage of that space to organise online gatherings where physical events are not possible. Teams can also be used for its chat function and to share (non-sensitive) documents. 

You will find more guidance on how to use MS Teams at Get started on Microsoft Teams
