Postgraduate research conference

We have a vibrant and diverse student body working on a range of research degrees, including MSc by thesis, MD and PhD, alongside excellent academics in six key research areas.

Our annual HYMS postgraduate research conference brings together all these researchers so they can share their work with a wide audience and meet others working in their field and beyond.

All HYMS postgraduate research students, and students supervised by HYMS academic staff, are required to attend and present at this one-day conference. Students who started their studies in January 2012 are not expected to submit an abstract this year, but are still required to attend. Supervisors, members of thesis advisory panels and other members of HYMS are also very welcome.
