We are off and away for our PG Symposium Week. Our world-leading postgraduate community has descended onto Aberdeen for a week full of rigorous academic engagements. We're kicking off the week with the first plenary lecture from Dr. Sara Mannen on the Doctrine of God.

A speaker stands at the front of a large lecture hall behind a podium as numerous attendees sit and listen to a lecture. A projector screen is at the front of the room with a powerpoint slide with text on it.
