So you want to be a Postgrad? Wednesday 19 Nov, 5:15pm

Are you a final year student in the Slavonic Dept. thinking about continuing on to graduate school in Cambridge or elsewhere? Or perhaps considering a gap year in Russia? Want to find out more about what it's like to do these things and get some tips for applications?

If so, come meet the Cambridge Slavonic Postgrads as we hang out and answer your questions about the kinds of things you can do after undergrad with a Slavonic Studies degree. We're all MPhil and PhD students (with a couple of bonus early career academics thrown in), with a range of experiences of living, working, and studying in North America, Continental Europe, and Russia, and we're happy to offer any advice and share any contacts we might have.

Come armed with questions!  There will be kvas and snacks on hand. (Not that we're trying to bribe you or anything.)

WHEN: Wednesday 19 November, 5:15pm WHERE: RFB Media Centre, 1st Floor, Room 142 (right next to the CALL Facility -- knock assertively if you can't get past the card access door!)

Keep in touch
