Take part in our Instagram competition


Throughout the year we will be running a series of Instagram competitions that enable you to connect with others within the Doctoral community. Through images that relate to a chosen theme we can highlight the many experiences that our doctoral students have, and share your research. You will have the chance to win a £5 Amazon voucher by taking part. The winner will have their image posted on the Doctoral College Instagram account and shared in the Doctoral Digest.

How to take part


It's easy to take part in our Insta competitions. All you need to do is upload a picture to your Instagram feed that represents the chosen theme and include the theme's unique hashtag during the competition dates.

Once the deadline has closed, all of the images will be viewed by a panel of staff who decide on a winner. The winner will be announced on Instagram and in the Doctoral Digest. To see a full list of the terms and conditions, view our criteria guide.

You will need to have access to a smartphone and have an Instagram account. Details on how to sign up for an Instagram account can be found on their website.
