Doctoral Recognition Awards
The Doctoral Recognition Awards, organised by the Doctoral College, recognise students and staff who have contributed to enhancing the doctoral student experience.
The student award could be awarded to a student who is actively involved in organising events to benefit others, improving equality and diversity, or enhancing the reputation of the University attending conferences and events.
The staff award could be awarded to a supportive supervisor, a team within the University who has shown commitment to doctoral students, or another member of staff who has improved the student experience.
