Each year, during November, the NWSSDTP organises a week long programme of events for our students. The programme includes a compulsory induction for new starters, which is a chance to learn more about the opportunities and expectations of being a NWSSDTP-funded student while also meeting the team behind the NWSSDTP and networking with postgraduate students from across the institutions and disciplines of the DTP.

There are also a number of sessions relevant for our continuing students, including our annual Impact event and Coaching Sessions. In addition, the sessions on individual additional funding schemes are open to both new starters and continuing students who wish to learn more about these opportunities.
