2014-15
This is an annual event which gives students the opportunity to present a poster detailing their project work in an informal way to faculty, fellow students, the Informatics Industrial Advisory Board and selected external guests.
This is an excellent opportunity for students to:
- focus and reflect on project work
- set targets
- inform potential employers, faculty and colleagues
- gain important feedback
- gain invaluable experience by presenting work and ideas
- network with potential employers
The idea of the poster exhibition is for participants to present a coherent story of what they are working on.

Part-time students in their first year can also take part if they wish.
Please note that the poster presentation is compulsory and marked for MSc Advanced Computer Science.
2nd Year PGR students are required to present as part of their Student's Report in their Annual Review.
Other PGR years are also welcome to present a poster at the event. Although not compulsory it would allow participants to gather useful input for current and future research.

All full-time Masters students and those in their second year of a part-time Masters are strongly encouraged to take part. Part-time students in their first year can also take part if they wish.
Please note that the poster presentation is compulsory and marked for MSc Advanced Computer Science (10% of the project weighting).
It is a very good opportunity to think about the scope of your project and will be very useful in helping you to plan the rest of your work. Perhaps most importantly, the event provides a chance for you to get some feedback and ideas from your peers, members of faculty and industry guests. At previous years' events a number of projects attracted interest from attending companies, with students being offered interviews and collaboration.

All Second year PhD/MPhil students must take part.
Producing a poster is an integral part of the 2nd year annual review. 2nd Year PGR students are required to present as part of their Student's Report in their Annual Review.
The poster sessions is an integral part of the School PGR research methods course for 1st year students.
PGR students - a poster to a design of your choice following the size options below:
A2 - portrait or landscape.
A1 (preferred size) - portrait or landscape
A0 - portrait only.
Content and format should be like a poster for an academic conference/workshop.
The audience will be faculty and fellow students from across the School, so make it accessible to them all — assume less technical background than you would for a presentation to researchers just in your area.
The poster will be judged on:
1) How easy its content is to understand
2) It’s coherence (clarity and conciseness)
3) Precision (accurate and unambiguous)
4) Visual appeal (graphical presentation and style).
Suggestion: base your design on a poster you think communicates well.
First year PGR students on the research methods course will be the judges.
- Prizes
-
In the past students have been awarded up to £200 for the best posters. There have also been honourable mentions for outstanding work. All awardees will receive a certificate signed by the head of their department.
The 2013-14 MSc winners were MSc student Sandeep Narwal and PhD student Jack Pay, as seen receiving their certificates in the photographs below.
MSc Best Poster prize winner Sandeep Narwal.
