Postgraduate Training Days and Research Visits
In a new initiative, research postgraduates from across the UK are invited to attend a specially tailored day of talks, workshops and networking opportunities at the Library, focusing on your research subject.
Each day includes a general introduction to relevant research sources, curator talks and workshops, and details on how to get a Reader Pass. To ensure the days are accessible to research postgraduates from across the UK, students from outside London may apply for a limited number of travel bursaries.
Training Days are currently offered in History, Modern Foreign Languages, English Literature, Social Sciences and Entrepreneurship.
