The Festival of Doctoral Research was an inuagural event for the Doctoral College and ran from 12 - 27 May, 2016.
More than 35 events made up the jam-packed itinerary, catering for doctoral researchers (PGRs) across all faculties.
The Festival celebrated and showcased the University's world-class doctoral research and perhaps most importantly, encouraged everyone to have some fun!
It can take up to 9 hours to present a thesis...in this competition, researchers have just 3 minutes. Well done to our 2016 winner: Nazira Albargothy
