Student community
Here at the CDT we have an active student community that spans accross the four partner universities. Here is a flavour of what we get up to.
Informal collaborations
As well as the more formal teaching methods we also like to meet up in a more relaxed way.
Coffee catch-up's
Occuring every fortnight this informal meeting open to all students is with the programme manager to discuss general issues.
Cohort building
These enable you to collaborate on a specific area. For example the students last year took part in a powertrader energy workshop.
Journal club
Set up by students this is a fortnightly session where recent research activities are discussed.
Social activities
We recognise the importance and benefits of getting together as a group and there are lots of opportunities to take time out together online and inperson.Things inlcude:
Seaonal get togethers
For example last christmas we held an online party with games and activities to take part in.
Picnic
This year a picnic at Woollaton Park, Nottingham was held for all years to meet and relax together.
Other opportunities
Our students often have the chance to give back to the community.
Student video
One of our students organised the production of videos on hydrogen for primary children.
Panel Q&A sessions
Others took part in a Q&A for high school pupils thinking of studying at university.
