INAUGURAL LECTURES AND UNIVERSITY LECTURES

INAUGURAL LECTURES

An inaugural lecture is an occasion of significance in an academic staff member's career at the University. Inaugural lectures provide newly appointed professors with the opportunity to inform colleagues, the campus community and the general public of their work to date, including current research and future plans. Professors are usually required to give their inaugural lecture within 12 months of their appointment.
Inaugural lectures are a ceremonial occasion, and academic robes are worn by the inaugural professor and the rest of the platform party.
