Postgraduate seminars

During term time, the postgraduate community run an informal seminar series where they get together, share work in progress, and practise presenting papers in a friendly, inclusive environment. It gives postgraduate students the opportunity to talk about their work, find out what other postgraduates in the department are working on, and experience presenting current research and chairing papers.

Please address enquiries about upcoming PG seminars to the PGR rep, Rowan Munnery at classicspgrrep@st-andrews.ac.uk.

The PG seminars this semester will take place on Fridays, in Arts seminar room 6, at 1pm.
