The Doctoral Recognition Awards, organised by the Doctoral College, recognise students and staff who have contributed to enhancing the doctoral student experience.
For the student award, this could be 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.
For the staff award, it could be a supportive supervisor, a team within the University who have shown commitment to doctoral students or another member of staff who has improved the student experience.
