Welcome to the Graduate School Festival at the University of Westminster.
This is our sixth festival, and I am proud to say that we are growing bigger and better every year! Open to everyone – including students, colleagues, and members of the public – the diverse range of research on display this week is a true testament to our fantastic community of PhD researchers. Transnational in outlook and global in context, the work presented offers a snapshot of what it means to be a member of our vibrant Westminster research community.
This year’s programme features a diverse selection of projects undertaken by our 400+ doctoral researchers, who are fully supported by leading experts in their disciplinary fields. Within this exceptional research culture, we are proud of the supportive environment we create for our doctoral researchers. The quality, breadth, and impact of our research are world-leading, and our graduate community remains integral to our identity as a university.
The Graduate School is central to providing a high-quality research degree framework, alongside dedicated support, training, and development opportunities. Our doctoral researchers enjoy numerous opportunities to collaborate within an exciting, interdisciplinary research environment. We encourage attendance at our engaging workshops and offer guidance through personal development planning, ensuring our researchers gain the vital skills to support and enhance their work. The Graduate School is always here to support and encourage our doctoral researchers throughout their PhD journey and beyond.
Highlighting this year’s schedule is a very special film screening and Q&A with one of our CREAM doctoral researchers, the filmmaker, Pratibha Parmar, who is showing her film, Alice Walker: Beauty in Truth, at the historic Regent Street Cinema, alongside interactive sessions like our Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition.
