Three years of having an open floor to put forward my perspectives, but also to explore and criticise others – I personally have to thank the seminar leaders for continuously creating that safe space in our 1-hour seminars. Our lecturers were right; a healthy debate is essential for great research. Seminars were key. Seminars forced each student to find their voice every week and allowed us to build knowledge from each other. If you are passionate about your work, the support you get from the staff within this department is exceptional. You will thrive with their expertise and motivation alongside you.
