Assessing Doctorates: The Student Perspective
Monday 7 July 2008, Lancaster University Management School (Lecture Theatre 9, B floor)
Are you an MPhil/PhD student in dance, drama or music?
If so, would you like an opportunity to meet postgraduate researchers from different institutions working in similar fields?
As part of the Assessing Doctorates project, PALATINE is organising an event on 7 July to enable research students to meet and discuss their experiences of doing an MPhil/PhD in dance, drama or music.
We hope that the workshop will be a positive and inspiring day for those attending. It will also provide PALATINE with a sense of the current concerns of doctoral students in our disciplines and types of research being prepared for submission.
There is no charge for the event and lunch and refreshments will be provided. PALATINE will also re-imburse reasonable travel expenses for all attendees.
Please note that numbers are strictly limited and that if demand for places outstrips the number of places available, PALATINE may allocate places to represent as wide a range of institutions and/or types of research as possible.
For further information, or to book a place, please contact Miriam Murtin or David Pearson, indicating the topic and/or working title of your MPhil/PhD.
The booking deadline has been extended to 1 July 2008.

If you are travelling by car, leave the M6 motorway at Junction 33. Travel north on the A6 towards Lancaster city centre. Go straight through the traffic lights in the small village of Galgate. Once through Galgate you will reach another set of traffic lights. Go straight through and onto the next set of lights where you can turn right into Lancaster University.
The Management School is on the south-west part of campus (turn right at the roundabout at the top of the driveway when entering the University).
