4. Students and Other Info 1 PhD student and 17 MSc students are currently part of WETA. At the end of each semester the group will schedule seminars for our undergraduate, postgraduate project students and throughout the semester for our MSc and PhD students to give them an opportunity to present and discuss their current work. We also plan to present a welcome seminar at the start of each semester for all our project, MSc and PhD students in order to make them feel welcome, get to know each other and also to know the research we conduct in the group.
