We are delighted to announce that 3 of our female students have been recognised for submitting a student poster in the first Athena Swan Poster.

Students across the University were asked to design a poster to showcase a woman who inspired them. 

Entries showcase women from many spheres including science, politics, education and the media, as well as women closer to home such as mothers and teachers who personally inspired our entrants.

The competition had a significant number of entries and the judging panel were very impressed with the standard of entries:

There were lots of fantastic entries reflective of women across the county globe, some in the public eye and those closer to home. It was a wonderful and poignant reminder that inspirational women can be found everywhere. The judges’ choice of winners and runners-up exhibited strong compositions, were extremely well executed, and presented in unique styles. Thank you to everyone for taking part and getting involved and showcasing such diverse and incredible women.
