Confererence funds


The department and university provide funds to help you attend conferences at home and abroad and we encourage you to submit your research for publication and to leading conferences.

Postgraduate conference


Every year we hold a postgraduate conference at which each postgraduate presents their work to a supportive and helpful audience of their fellow postgraduates and members of staff. The conference is a great departmental occasion that provides a stimulating arena in which to try out your ideas and practice your presentation skills.
