It has been a busy period of success for our PhD programmes. In the last month we have had no less than six successful viva voce examinations, preceded by some excellent oral presentations. The “pre-viva” talk has become a rite of passage for our PhD students – an opportunity to share with the School of Biosciences their research and mark this pivotal moment in a scientist’s career. All six candidates passed subject to the completion of minor thesis corrections. The successful outcomes in the last month alone highlight the quality of our postgraduate research students, and also the supervision they receive during their time at Kent.
Many congratulations to Angelica Ozanne, Shirley Peters, Sam Taylor, Ilectra Adam, Emma Hutchinson and Denisa Doko, and best of luck for your future careers.
