Thanks to the hardworking staff of the Brookfield Cafe for the wonderful meal that was served. The dinner was followed by a very fun table quiz.

This year's Graduate School Summer BBQ took place on Thursday, 6th June 2019, in the Brookfield Health Sciences Complex, University College Cork. The weather didn't want to play ball, but despite being indoors the BBQ was a very enjoyable occasion. The BBQ provided an excellent opportunity for Postgraduate Research Students from the different School within the College of Medicine & Health to mix and get to know each other.

In the workshop, Prof Savage discussed how students should prepare for their Viva Voce examination, from the beginins for their research. The workshop was well attended, from a variety of disciplines within the College. Prof Savage said the students engaged well with the workshop.
