Hear from graduate, Janine FitzGerald:
Participants with an interest in equality, diversity, inclusion and social justice will gain much from working with a diverse group of peers and tutors from varied backgrounds. The close association between the University Research Centres, LSBU's Doctoral Academy and master’s programmes provide opportunities to work with like-minded research-active peers within a lively and supportive learning community.
