On the 10th December 2015 the Graduate School hosted its 5th biannual Post Graduate International event. This saw 160 BU postgraduate (PG) students come together to celebrate the wide range of countries represented by the PG community here at BU. The evening, which was opened by BU’s Pro Vice Chancellor Professor John Fletcher, aimed to provide a platform for international students to network away from disciplinary boundaries and to share their cultural experiences with others.
Over 42 countries were represented on the night, from Brazil to Nigeria, Poland to Pakistan. The array of diversity led to the event being steeped in colour, wonderful smells and tastes of exotic foods. Everyone that attended proudly represented their home country whilst immersing themselves in rich culture of the 2016 International Event. A video of the event will soon be available on the BU website under postgraduate research (The Graduate School)!
Also, keep your eyes open for the 8th Annual Post Graduate Conference taking place in March 2016. To find out more about the Graduate School and what we offer, find us on the BU website under postgraduate research.
