This year we celebrated not only our Summer 2022 graduates, but our 2020 and 2021 graduates as well, who were finally able to attend an in-person ceremony.
We held post-graduation celebrations in Physics SCR, attended by their fellow PGRs and supervisors.
These graduates have gone on to a variety of destinations, including both academia (two of our graduates have stayed on with University of Exeter as postdoctoral research fellows) and industry, national and international. We wish them all the best for their futures:
