Lectures and seminars

Attending lectures and seminars has always been a fundamental part of student life. The number of lecture theatres and seminar rooms in Schools and Departments across campus has grown as the student population has increased. Photographs from the archives of students attending lectures and seminar groups reflect this growth, from the early days of University College to modern day, and very much depict the attitudes and the fashions of the day.
