This year’s Doctoral College conference for postgraduate research students within the Colleges of Life, Health & Physical Sciences (LHPS) and Social Sciences (SS) takes place from the 27 – 30 June 2016 at the Moulsecoomb campus.
This conference provides a fantastic opportunity to hear about the types and breadth of research being conducted by students at the University of Brighton. It also offers the chance to experience a conference environment right on your doorstep. All events are free for staff and students.
During the week, poster and oral presentations will be given by postgraduate research students and MRes Clinical Research students. You can access a digital version of the abstracts booklet here (hard copies will be available on the day) but you’ll find the most up-to-date daily schedule for session presentations on this site.
You can follow the conference on Twitter using the hashtag #UoBRSC2016
Each of the four days opens with a keynote presentation. If you wish to attend any of these keynotes, we’d be grateful if you could book your free place via one of the links below. There’s no need to book to attend the research student presentations – just come along on the day and dip in and out of the schedule as you wish!
Huxley Building is very close to Moulsecoomb train station. Please see our campus map. We hope to see you there!
