The SHU Doctoral Researcher of the Year competition is new for 2018 and recognises excellence in doctoral research. Successful nominees from each Faculty will be judged on their ability to communicate their doctoral research and its potential impact to a non-specialist audience at the Doctoral Showcase on 24 May 2018. The winner will be awarded a prize of £250 to be recognised at graduation.
