Some students even got involved with a bit of karaoke, although I don’t think there were any Mariah Carey’s amongst us.
To find out more about the Graduate School and what we offer, find us on the BU website under postgraduate research. Also, keep your eyes open for the 8th Annual Postgraduate Conference taking place in March 2016.
