MEd ULT research presentations and prize-giving event

On Thursday 21 November 2024, we gathered in person to celebrate the accomplishments of the 2023-24 cohort at our annual celebratory event. Dr Mike Tennant, Vice-Dean (Education) and former MEd student opened the evening with an introduction, paving the way for recent MEd ULT graduates to share their insightful research:

  • Dr Joel Smith, Department of Surgery & Cancer - Predicting student performance under uncertainty: a Bayesian approach for the identification of determinants. 
  • Dr Deepak Barnabas, Faculty of Medicine Centre - Eyes on the page, mind on the clock: what do pre-clinical medical students actually do when learning for a test?

During the event, we took a moment to extend congratulations to the outstanding individuals who earned recognition through our programmes:

  • Dr Joel Smith, MEd dissertation prize
  • Dr Deepak Barnabas, MEd dissertation prize
  • Mr Sarim Baig, PG Dip library project prize
  • Dr Alicia Heath, PG Cert Rees Rawlings prize

The evening was a testament to the dedication and excellence of our students, and we eagerly anticipate more moments of celebration and achievement in the future.
