Annual Honours Thesis Day

Please join us to celebrate the work of our undergraduate students who will be presenting their research from English Studies 4999E, Writing Studies 4999E, Film Studies 4409E and Theatre Studies 4999E Theses courses. This is a wonderful opportunity to support students and friends - and for current third year students to learn more about our theses courses.

If you are feeling unwell, stay home.
Wash hands thoroughly and often and avoid touching your face.
No food or drinks allowed inside the classroom.

Each presentation is expected to be about 10-12 minutes with a brief introduction from each supervisor. Questions will be held at the end of each block.
