On 07 November 2023 Sound Art undergraduate students from the London College of Communications (University of Arts London) attended a seminar on Acoustics delivered by Dr Luis Gomez-Agustina. The students and their course leader were delighted by the experiential learning and auditory demonstrations taken place at different locations of the LSBU Acoustics Laboratory.

With this seminar we hope that both institutions and their sound related courses become better known to each other.

The “PGR End of Year Event” took place on 8^th December 2023.  

The event showcased the diverse research fields that the students are undertaking and celebrated the diversity of the PhD cohort.

The event was a huge success and was widely attended. Prizes were awarded to the five best poster presentations.

This event celebrated our PGR students and supports the development of a lasting research culture that will benefit everyone, especially the PGR students.…
