| "I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a PhD student at Queen’s. HAPP was a great place to undertake a research project, with its vibrant postgraduate community and supportive, friendly staff. Completing a PhD is a real challenge but, as my supervisor, John was a constant source of support and guidance throughout. He was also a superb mentor, helping me prepare for ‘life after the PhD (!)’ and providing me with several opportunities to develop the skills and acquire the experience necessary for a career in academia." | |
