The first session will be on Wed 29th April 2026 from14.15 to 17.45in 11 320 with Vicky Temperton, and the second on on Wed 10th June 2026, also from 12.15 until 17.45, with Dave Abson in C7 019.

Between these dates students are expected to make appointments with their direct supervisors to discuss their thesis ideas and plans.
