Friday 13th December 2019 was a special day for our postgraduate research community as we celebrated the academic success of our very talented doctoral students here at the University of Reading’s Institute of Education (IoE).

We would like to congratulate all of our doctoral students who have now officially graduated and are on their way to make important and impactful contribution to the field of education around the world.
