Student flash presentations! Get to know each other in no time at all!
As part of the BUC Finals, students are invited to give a 60 second flash presentation introducing themselves, their course and their botanical area of interest. Kick start your networking by giving a presentation and find out who shares your passion in the crowd.
Giving a presentation is not compulsory, but will be good fun.
