8-9th December, U@MQ Building, C10A, Macquarie University

The Postgraduate Research Festival is a Divisional event designed to showcase the work of all Higher Degree Research students in the Division of Linguistics and Psychology. The Festival provides a unique opportunity for students to present their research to others in the Division and to receive feedback in a friendly and collaborative environment. The diversity of research projects within the Division ensures that the forum is stimulating for both students and staff.

The core of the Festival is students giving 15-minute oral presentations on their research work followed by five minutes of questions from the floor. This format provides a great opportunity to develop presentational skills and receive invaluable on-the-spot feedback.

The Festival, held in December each year, has proven to be a unique social occasion with time for students and staff to network and chat in a friendly and relaxed setting. Besides the core component of student presentations, the Festival programme comprises other events such as addresses by invited speakers, discussion panels and lots of good food and drink.

The 2007 Festival was a great success with around 200 higher degree students from as far afield as Mexico showcasing their research. To find out more, read the Acting Dean's comments and browse the photo galleries.
