Very many congratulations to our XM² graduates in the 2018 winter ceremony.
They joined our first two graduates from summer 2018 (Alba Paniagua Diaz and Tanveer Tabish) in the ranks of XM² PGRs who successfully completed their PhD. A few more from our 2014 cohort are due to graduate in summer 2019; they have completed their vivas (or are about to do so) and we look forward to seeing them walk onto the stage for graduation.
Once again, many congratulations to our graduates – and all the best for your future careers. It was a pleasure working with you and seeing you grow over the past years. May there be many occasions to welcome you back at Exeter in the future!
