BU graduate, Amy Tidball, took part in BCUR16 and presented her dissertation research at .聽Below she shares her experiences:
鈥淟ooking back, the entire experience from planning to reflection tested my professional skills which university life doesn鈥檛 normally expose you to.聽BCUR gave me an insight into the world of conferences, networking and communication. These are skills which now as a graduate I need to be confident in, internally and externally at work. 聽
鈥淭he thought of BCUR initially made me very apprehensive. It wasn鈥檛 until I started putting my presentation together that I realised my dissertation had become a comprehensive piece of work, which I was quite proud of, and putting it into a different format gave me a different perspective on it.
鈥淎lthough the actual presenting part can seem quite daunting, on the day my nerves calmed a little, especially as I had the opportunity to listen to other people鈥檚 presentations and realise that the atmosphere is very friendly.聽One of the best parts of BCUR was getting to hear about a whole variety of different areas of research 鈥� trust me, you鈥檒l definitely learn something new!鈥�.
