Graduate School Facilities
The Graduate School Resource File/Handbook
Upon registration, MA students receive access to information from both Birmingham and Warwick University written exclusively for Postgraduates. The resource files and handbook include location information, codes of practice and procedures and training availability related to each institution. They are intended as a source of reference for University matters, just as this handbook contains details specific to your course.
The College of Arts and Law Graduate School (Birmingham) http://www.alpg.bham.ac.uk
All arts and humanities postgraduates, whether full-time or part-time, research students or following taught courses, are members of the College of Arts and Law Graduate School. The principal aim of the Graduate School is to support the six academic Schools of the College in providing the best possible research environment and educational experience for postgraduates. Students on this programme are members of the School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music. Further information on the Graduate School, including access to the online Graduate School Learning and Information Resource (WebCT) and Handbook (expected to be accessible from October 2010), is available at the Graduate School website and in the Welcome Letter, which you will all be receiving.
The Graduate School (Warwick) http://www.warwick.ac.uk/services/gradschool
As at Birmingham, the principal aim of the Graduate School at Warwick is to support the academic departments and centres of the University in providing the best possible research environment and educational experience for postgraduates. At Warwick, the Graduate School has an office located on the first floor in University House. This Office is responsible for all aspects of administration relating to postgraduate students and courses. In addition to providing administrative support, the Graduate School office offers advice and assistance on all postgraduate maters and, if unable to handle a specific query, will direct you to a department in the University which can. The Graduate School website offers a range of information about graduate study at Warwick, and a copy of the university’s postgraduate handbook can be downloaded there.

GENERAL ORIENTATION ON ARRIVAL
Italian MA Induction: 5th October 2010
There will be an induction and welcome in the first week of term (Tuesday 5th October from 2 p.m.). This will take place in Birmingham (seminar room 2, Strathcona Building) and will give you the chance to meet a number of your tutors and the other students on the programme. At this meeting, you will be given information and guidance about the course. There will then be an introduction to the module ‘Research and Critical Reading Skills’ led by Charlotte Ross.
You should make every effort to attend the induction. If you cannot make it for any reason, it is your responsibility to contact the course convenor beforehand, so that the necessary information can be made available to you.
Two seminars are held each week throughout the year, in Birmingham on Tuesdays and in Warwick on Thursdays, always in the afternoon. In some weeks you may have to go to both universities, in others both your seminars will be in the same location on the same day. You will not be required to travel between Birmingham and Warwick on a single day. A full timetable for term 1 will be distributed at the meeting on 5th October.
