Welcome back to term, with Week 1 on the horizon and classes/lectures shortly to begin.

This can be a challenging term for some, with exams, presentations and vivas - so check out the details of our wonderful student welfare and support services, who have a range of workshops and groups on offer.

There are also some wonderful opportunities for further study, at home and abroad - see the 'Grad Study Adverts' section.

Opportunity for a PhD student to start between August this year and early next year at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. The topic will be in discrete probability theory. Job listing here.

The listing includes a suggestion for a more specific direction (universality in random trees and graphs), but the supervisor is happy to find another suitable topic together with the candidate. 

A range of workshops and groups are available to help you build skills to respond to the demands of life at university. 

Here is the Trinity Term timetable for groups and workshops.

More information about the support services and its workshops and groups can be found here.
