Student Research Journal and Festival 2024
The 5th BILT Student Research Journal is now open to Editorial Board Applications and Abstract Submissions! The Journal is student-run and published once a year through BILT. It is peer-reviewed and dedicated to the publication of high-quality student research from across the University.
If you think this could be an interesting opportunity for students you know, please let them know – you can use the downloadable graphics below to share or include in presentations.
The Student Research Festival – Save the Date!
The fourth annual Student Research Festival will be taking place in the Global Lounge on Thursday 25 April 2024.
This is a one-day event, highlighting the best of student-created research, featuring presentations, debates and networking sessions. This is an opportunity for students at the University of Bristol to present research findings in an academic conference setting, enriching their university experience and enhancing their employability skills.
This year the theme will be ‘Conflict & Resolution.’ These terms are intended to be interpreted broadly, and we look forward to the rich diversity of multidisciplinary topics discussed on the day. So, think outside the box! To find out more, please visit: https://bit.ly/3MJ91Mi

Peer Observation to be embedded across the University
The University has refreshed its policy on peer observation, which will give teaching staff the opportunity to develop their skills and share good practice. In this news article, Satadru Makherjee shares his experience of peer observation in the School of Economics and gives his feedback on the process.
If you want to find out more about teaching observations, please visit this page on our website or get in touch with the CREATE team at create-asd@bristol.ac.uk.
