Delighted to join the staff procession on stage at our graduation ceremony this week to celebrate our fantastic students. An honour to represent the technical staff. I missed my MSc graduation so this sort of made up for it. @UlsterUniPhD @UUEngineering

A moment for the trophy… the winners of last week's Doctoral College awards received a bespoke piece of art to mark this moment in their career.
The trophies showcase the innovation, skill and creativity of @BelfastSchArt technical colleagues.
