Hello!<\/p>\n

Hopefully you should now be starting to settle in well to your doctoral studies and, for those of you new to Bath, to both the Claverton and city campuses too!<\/p>\n

However, should you still not quite have found your bearings yet\u2026\u00a0 never fear for the Welcome Team will be running tours of both campuses this week and next which you can sign up for here<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Now\u2019s also a great time to get to know more of your fellow doctoral students at the university and if you haven\u2019t yet signed up, we\u2019d really encourage you to come along to the Doctoral College Welcome Reception this Thursday<\/strong> which you can register for here<\/a>:\u00a0 Students will be formally welcomed to the university by Professor Jeremy Bradshaw (International and Doctoral Pro-Vice Chancellor) and there will be plenty of time to mingle with doctoral students and staff from across the university.\u00a0 A range of drinks and delicious canap\u00e9s will also be provided!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget we also have our regular Cake in the Commons meet-up on Fridays from 10:30 - 11:30 in 10 W, 5.01<\/em> and it\u2019s been buzzing recently! \u00a0It\u2019s been great to see lots of new faces and we look forward to meeting those of you that haven\u2019t yet been along soon also!<\/p>\n

At this stage, I\u2019d also really encourage you to take a little time to think about how to get the most from your time here at the university more broadly. \u00a0For example, you might like to start learning\/improving a language and happily all language courses are free! There\u2019s more info<\/a> on getting started here:<\/p>\n

Alternatively (or in addition!), you might like to begin using the sports facilities<\/a> on campus. \u00a0All students can access the swimming pool, tennis, squash and badminton courts; athletics track; astro pitches; and indoor sports hall for free and gym and class memberships can also be obtained at very competitive rates.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d also highly recommend checking out The Edge Arts Centre <\/a>which has free exhibitions, hosts a range of productions and has a whole range of creative activities\/classes to try too! Check out what\u2019s on<\/p>\n

I think that\u2019s enough to be getting on with for now! \ud83d\ude0a Remember the Welcome Team are happy to help with any questions\/queries you may have, so feel free to get in touch via doctoralwelcometeam@bath.ac.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hope to see many of you on Thursday at the Welcome Reception!<\/p>\n
