PGR Festival

Postgraduate Research Festival

Every year we host Swansea's own Postgraduate Research Festival to highlight the work of our PGR community.

The PGR Festival is an opportunity for the PGR community across the university to come together with events that showcase the fantastic work that PGRs are undertaking, bring researchers from different disciplines together, and create a space to recognise and celebrate the postgraduate research community.

There's always a packed programme with hundreds of students and staff across our campuses participating in activities and student led events, cumulating in the PGR Showcase which plays host to the annual 3MT final, poster competition and PGR awards.

Festival Programme

PGR Showcase

Our annual celebration of the PGR community, featuring some of the most exciting postgraduate research happening at Swansea and bringing together PGRs from across disciplines.

Showcase is the home of the PGR Research Poster Competition, the final of Swansea 3MT, and the PGR Awards.

Our poster competition showcases the research of PGR students and challenges them to distil their work into a poster that is accessible to a multi-disciplinary audience. Entrants will present their poster to the audience and judges, as well as answering questions about their research.

The 3MT final is always one of the high points of the festival, hearing from some of our best and brightest PGRs from across the three faculties who will be sharing their research topics in just three minutes, with only one slide to help them.

We’ll round off the day with the PGR awards, recognising those who have contributed to enhancing the student experience over the last year.

When: May 17th.

Where: Taliesin
