Inaugural Lecture Series
Are you ready to embark on a journey of knowledge and inspiration? Join us for a series of captivating inaugural lectures and immerse yourself in the world of intellectual exploration and thought-provoking sessions.
Inaugural lectures are celebration of our academics’ outstanding research excellence and an achievement of contributions to their field of research. These celebratory events will enable the University to come together to give conferment to academics who have achieved the accolade of Professorship and Associate Professorship.
The series will provide an insight on perspectives and issues, topics include the role of aviation in long-distance transport, the notion of identity and the idea of ‘home’ explored within the realms of photography and the psychology of sporting excellence and paediatric emergency care.
This is your chance to ask questions and delve deeper into the topics discussed. Everyone is welcome and these lectures are free to attend.
