Groups
Once group assignments are live, you can find your group assignment on LEARN. Groups will consist of 3 to 4 students plus a second year mentor, and if at all possible, at least one group member will be from a different country than the others.
The second year mentor will meet with you once a week to provide input and support you in your work. They will be able to spend more time with you at the start of your project; towards the end of your project, they will be working on their own thesis proposal, and will have their own coursework and exam deadlines, therefore they will have less time. Budget wisely, and do as much as possible early on!
