About the series

The postgraduate seminar series held in Maynooth allows postgraduate students the opportunity to present their work and acquire feedback from their fellow staff and students. All postgraduates are required to present one seminar every six months, and each seminar should last no longer than 30 minutes (including question time). Seminars will be held in groups of two, every second week for semester one, and every week for semester two. Postgraduates are also requested to attend the series to support their colleagues.
