The 2017 Psychology Poster Conference saw a new batch of bright young students displaying their theses in the form of A1 posters. The students put on a fantastic showcase and it was a great opportunity for them to show the huge amount of work they put into their final projects.
Following on from the poster conference, an awards ceremony took place which saw the Executive Dean at DBS, Andrew Conlan-Trant, handing out certificates to the winning Psychology students whose posters were chosen for best in class. Psychology lecturer Pauline Hyland and Head of Academic Affairs, Miriam O'Donoghue, were there on the day to congratulate the students on their wonderful achievement.
