"It was a super day, and I so enjoyed sharing my research with colleagues. Thanks to all who made it possible. It was tremendously well organised and such an important event to inspire an interest in research!" - 3rd year UG student
Every year at Oxford Brookes University we host a university-wide annual student conference showcase, featuring the best research from our undergraduates and taught master's students. Students publish their research to fellow students, staff, the public, and employers.
"I was so impressed by all the posters: I really enjoyed viewing them all and chatting in more depth with some students. It was amazing to see the range and depth of research going on. I look forward to this event next year now too!" - Staff member
"It really was a success. There was a real excitement at the event and the quality of the work students produced was extremely high. Students very much appreciated the supportive way in which the judging was carried out." - Senior Lecturer in Education
