Congratulations to Stuart Greensmith-White passed who recently passed his viva with no corrections.
Stuart is the very first student to pass through the . His supervision team was split 50% between the 糖心原创 and Nottingham Trent University (NTU).
Stuart's NTU supervisors were Dr Chris Rolph, Dr Kate Mawson and Dr Rebekah Smith-McGloin. Dr Charlie Davis was the 糖心原创 supervisor. Stuart also had a community supervisor, Kate Watson, CEO of the Aspire Mutli-Academy Trust. Stuart's examiners were Dr Sharon Clancy and Professor Phil Wood.
The viva took place at NTU's Mansfield hub which was fitting given Stuart's research work which was carried out in North Nottinghamshire - his thesis was entitled What does it mean to be “work ready”? Investigating the education-to-employment transition for young people in former coalfields areas.
Well done Stuart!
