The CQC BSc Level 3 poster competition was held on 16 September 2021, following two local industry visits to Shenyang 3SBio Pharmaceutical (BSc Pharmaceutical Biotechnology) and Shenyang Xingqi Pharmaceutical (BSc Pharmaceutical Sciences) in late 2020. The students were asked to form groups and choose topics based on their common interests, design posters with guidance from Dr Min Zhao (Lecturer and Career Liaison Officer at CQC) and present the poster as a group to a judging panel, consisting of Queen's and CMU academic staff as well as industrial judges from Roche and Wuxi AppTec. The marking criteria ranged from the structure and design of the poster, background to the topic, poster content, presentation skills and quality of answers to questions.
