On the rainy morning of Saturday 25 June 2016 the Graduate School team, armed with posters, pens and lots of cupcakes, set up a stand at the Festival of Learning. We displayed photographs from the latest PG Conference and Shaqaieq Dost, a current PGR student, was on hand to discuss her research and what it’s like to be a PGR with interested members of the public.
Dr Julia Taylor, Graduate School Academic Manager, talked to several people who had always been interested in PhD study but didn’t know how it would fit in with jobs, family commitments and other such barriers. Suzy Kempinski an
d Louise Bryant, Research Administrators, chatted to current UG and PGT students who were looking at taking the next step in their academic journey into MRes/ PhD study, and about the support that is available within the faculties for PGR students.
The cupcakes proved very popular, and we were left with reassurances from several younger members of the crowd that they would be back in 20 years to embark on their PhD at BU!
