Well, the gist of it is in the subject line. At this time I probably shouldn't go into the details of my application here, since it's still in the works and isn't exactly a run of the mill app. However I'm interested to make contact with current research students, with some vague questions...

- what's your faculty / department and specialism?
- how have you found the support offered by the university?
- how would you describe the atmosphere etc?

Thanks in advance!

James

PS... a promise to make a more friendly and detailed introduction if and when things get the green light, so watch this space :)

Hi James,

I've just started my PhD at Queen's, last week in fact. I'm in humanities, studying the early medieval period . I can't really comment on the support aspect just yet, being such a new student!

Hi Pablo. It may be re-assuring to know that I'm not the only newbie. So I'll spare you the interrogation but hopefully our paths will cross some time (up)
