Congratulations to our 2023 Summer graduates who had their ceremony last week!
We held post-graduation celebrations in Physics 124, attended by graduates, their guests, fellow PGRs and their supervisors to reflect on their time as PGRs.
They go on to a variety of positions across academia and industry with some staying in Exeter and others leaving for destinations across the UK or international. We wish them all the best on their next steps!
