Cohort 2 (2020-2024)
Starting a PhD during a global pandemic, has certainly been a different experience for this cohort! However, through hard work and determination against unprecedented challenges, Cohort 2 has now advanced to the final year of their PhDs, with many having submitted and awaiting their viva examinations.
