Today marks the start of UC’s 2022 Visualise Your Thesis competition. It’s open to all postgraduate students who are undertaking research (so excludes taught Masters, or lecturers, for example). We’ve had a great response in previous years, and we’re keen to get more entries than ever this year. Here are the details that you can share with the researching postgrad in your life, or at the desk, but all the details are at: https://canterbury.libguides.com/visyourthesis
