Our annual Research Showcase is back with a new name, Postgraduate Showcase. This competition is a great opportunity for postgraduate taught and research students to share their passions for their research projects, practise their presentation skills and engage with the wider audience.

- Your press release could report any preliminary findings if appropriate.
- It must be written in a language understandable to a general, non-expert audience.
- The use of technical jargons are limited to a maximum of 2 and must be clearly defined.

- The word count is a maximum of not more than 250 words excluding the title, school/department and contact details.
