The Bristol Composites Institute, EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Advanced Composites for Innovation and Science and the Industrial Doctorate Centre (IDC) in Composites Manufacture celebrate the success of their recent graduates.
Bristol Composites Institute celebrated 8 graduates at the recent graduation ceremony, which took place on Monday 31 July. Academic supervisors and family members watched as the students were conferred their degrees in the ceremony held in the Wills Memorial Building. After the ceremony, graduates were invited to celebrate with the wider BCI in Queen’s Building. This was an opportunity for the BCI Directors to congratulate the graduates personally. Professor Ian Hamerton presented each graduate with a BCI branded Bristol Blue Glass paperweight.
