One of the high points for our Stage 3 students is the annual poster competition normally held in a large venue with all students and supervisors simultaneously.

Peer-Assisted Learning (PAL) Language Practice Programme
Over the years the Language Resource Centre has offered a programme of student-led language learning groups during term-time.

For the academic year of 2020-21 the programme was run entirely online and was also expanded, in terms of number of hours offered, the types of sessions and languages.
