MA graduates win prizes
Latest press releasesTwo MA graduates returned to Warwick Business School last week to receive prizes for their outstanding course work, and then a few days later to attend the official Winter graduation ceremony. Both graduated with an MA (Master of Arts) in Industrial Relations and Personnel Management.
Joyce Chiang was awarded the 'Trades Union Congress Prize for Outstanding Attainment in Employment Rights' by Cheryl Pidgeon, Midlands TUC Regional Secretary. Joyce graduated from the programme with distinction overall and submitted a particularly innovative dissertation, on the attitudes of migrant workers to trade unions in the UK.
Sophie Stuttard was awarded the Engineering Employers Federation Prize for Outstanding Attainment in Employment Relations by Andrew Forrest, Head of HR and Legal Services at the EEF. Sophie also graduated with distinction and her dissertation explored how newspaper coverage of redundancies had changed over time.
In their seminar presentation to students following the awards, Cheryl and Andrew discussed the respective roles played by their organizations in employment relations in the Midlands, and the impact of the recession upon the region and their work. The Trades Union Congress represents 58 affiliated unions covering nearly seven million working people. The EEF is Britain's largest employers association.
