14.01.2022 Many congratulations to our PhD students on reaching the end of their degree! Their achievement is testament to their unique intellectual brainpower and their stamina in seeing it through. It is the highest award achievable at university level and one that makes them stand out. For us in the School, they have made us very proud and it is a real shame that - due to COVID19 - they have not been able to walk the stage of the official graduation ceremony they so richly deserve. ...Because of this, we have decided to shoot a little video in which we want to acknowledge our appreciation for their accomplishment. We know this does not make up for the real event but it is important to us to at least symbolically celebrate and congratulate them: https://youtu.be/RjNB8GteOqQ UQ Graduate Centre in Governance & International Affairs UQ Humanities and Social Sciences UQ Graduate School The University of Queensland See more
