Unitec honours outstanding 2022 post-graduate researchers

22 November 2022

It’s an outstanding achievement for all the graduates, says Marcus Williams, Director of Research. It’s not easy being a student these days, these winners have achieved the top grade in the highest level course in the institute. Their work has been blind refereed with two examiners, one external to the organisation. Many have jobs and families. They have my utmost respect and that is without even considering the rich and valuable nature of their research findings.”
