We are delighted to announce the return of the annual Graduate School Festival across 23 – 25 June 2025, showcasing the research, creativity, and ambition of our community of doctoral researchers.

Under the new theme, Challenging Pasts, Critical Futures, the festival considers the impact of research. How can we be empowered to question established narratives, deconstruct power relations, and advocate for transformative change by fostering critical thinking?

Events running throughout the festival include doctoral researcher-led workshops, researchers in conversation, a panel on non-academic careers in higher education, a colloquium for the Hyphen journal and the Three Minute Thesis competition.

All events are free to attend. Navigate through the menu bar to see the full Programme and reserve your spot.
