Bristol Composites Institute celebrates its MSc and PhD graduates

On Wednesday 22 January 2025, students from across Bristol Composites Institute (BCI) celebrated their graduations. The graduation ceremony was held in the beautiful Wills Memorial Building, at the top of Bristol’s Park Street. It was a sunny winters day, which allowed for some beautiful outdoor photos to be taken.

The graduates, their families and staff from BCI then met in the Bill Brown Design Suite for a celebration of the graduates’ achievements.

BCI Co-Director, Prof. Ole Thomsen congratulated each of the graduates and presented them with a specially commissioned Bristol Blue Glass paperweight, to keep as a memento of their time at BCI. It was a great moment for the graduates to reflect on their achievements and share with the assembled guests what they are up to now, and their plans for the future.
