Our first cohort of 12 Professional Doctorate students (2009) are now completing the final module in the taught part of their programme. From February they will embark upon the independent study part of their Doctorate.
These students were joined in October 2011 by a new group of 12 Doctoral students, who have just spent their first learning block with the Institute. The two groups will be meeting each other frequently and making for a vibrant research community at Working Lives.
Dr Cilla Ross is now responsible for leading the programme in place of Dr Sian Moore - who we are very sorry to lose. Dr Ross said:
"Once again we were amazed at the diversity of backgrounds the programme has attracted from trade unions, NGOs, voluntary and other organisations. And we are delighted that in a difficult economic and political climate so many students have committed to working with us for the next few years."
