Colloquium Series
Participating in 'colloquia' (meaning workshops, seminars, round tables or discussions) will introduce you to a range of international issues and provide you with a set of generic skills you can use in your professional life.
Each colloquium will last for 3 hours. In them you can:
- hear interesting presentations of the topic
- participate in discussion and debate on the issues raised by the Convener
- take part in group activities
- undertake individual reflection of how the colloquium topic relates to you.
Students must participate in 10 colloquia to fulfil the requirements of the GLP. There are 3 compulsory colloquia that all students must attend and which count towards the total of 10.
Core Colloquia
The 3 core colloquia which all students must attend are:

Elective Colloquia
Students must participate in 7 elective colloquia over the course of their enrolment in the GLP.
