Every year, we host a competition to recognise the best thesis poster presentation by final year students. The entries are judged by school academics, with the best posters presented at the annual Thesis Poster Reception. The top ten are displayed in the school’s meeting room, and the best three are awarded cash prizes and a certificate.
See below for a list of past winners.
