Graduate Research Degree Conferring
Monday, 2nd December 2024
On Monday 2nd of December 2024 a large group of thirteen chemistry graduate research students were conferred with their degrees. We were delighted to have so many awarded in a single ceremony and to mark the occasion we welcomed these graduands to a school reception to celebrate with their proud supervisors and colleagues.
