At the 2026 Student Symposium, students from the Institute of Art and Visual Culture will each present a final dissertation or project that was produced as part of their degree programme and which the examiners have deemed to be of particularly high quality, interesting, original or independent.

Each presentation will consist of a talk followed by a question-and-answer session or discussion. The Student Symposium offers an opportunity for academic and substantive exchange and serves as an example of the diversity of student research projects. All students are invited to attend the talks given by their fellow studentsand to take part in the subsequent discussions.
