Education Studies News and Events

We are pleased to announce the release Dr Emily Henderson's new edited book:

Exploring Diary Methods in Higher Education Research
Opportunities, Choices and Challenges

Please join us for an online celebration of our Postgraduate graduands on Tuesday 2nd March at 1pm GMT. We would normally host a reception following the formal graduation ceremony on campus, which we have not been able to do this year, so we would like as many of you as possible to be part of congratulating them and wishing them well for their future. We look forward to seeing you there!

Please contact Claire McKeown if you would like details on how to join this event. Please note that this is not a formal graduation ceremony.

Many congratulations to Education Studies PGR graduate Dr Xuemeng Cao, who has been selected for a highly competitive postdoctoral fellowship at one of China's top universities, Tsinghua University.
