Doctoral School Frequently Asked Questions
-
What facilities does the Doctoral School have?
The Doctoral School facilities in 53 Gordon Square include sixty work stations spread across three floors. There are coffee stations on each floor, in addition to a small common room and kitchen in the basement. We also have two showers and 170 lockers. There are also study spaces in the main college buildings and in the library.
In addition to the study spaces, there are three meeting rooms on the ground, lower ground and third floors. One holds six people and the other two hold ten people. The two larger rooms have AV equipment.

Who may use these facilities?
The study spaces are reserved exclusively for postgraduate research students.
The ground floor meeting room is to be particularly used for vivas throughout the year, but all the rooms may be used for any meetings, discussion groups, seminars or training, if these activities are dedicated to doctoral research for or with research students.

What are the opening hours?
The building will open at 8am and a security guard will be present until 8pm. It will then remain open without security until 11:30pm, at which time a member of security will go around the building to ensure everyone has left and the doors will then be locked until 8am the next morning.
