The Science Partnership Office in association with the Faculty of Science and Engineering Student Societies brings you the Aegis Professor Undergraduate Competition: an exciting scheme where students have the chance to see how scientific research ideas can be commercialised with the opportunity to win up to £5000.
I appreciated the chance to network with professors at the celebration event. I learned new skills, like presenting and creating informative posters
