Calling all PhD Researchers at Ulster University!
We are delighted to be running the popular Bake Your PhD competition again for 2025 where PhD Researchers bake something that visually depicts any aspect of their research. Researchers can bake anything (e.g. cake or other baked goods) that visually depicts any aspect of their research (e.g. from the physical samples, findings, methods employed in the project, or the research topic concepts and ideas).
The Process
During the Judging Process, we will ask you to tell us the title of your Bake Your PhD entry and you will have up to two minutes to tell the judges – and the audience - how the cake represents your research. The judges will taste your creation too!
The judges will assess your entry according to the following criteria:
- How well does the cake depict the research?
- How creative is the cake/and or cake presentation?
- How well was the topic communicated?
- Does the cake creation taste good?
