Hello Rachel,
Yes, we are applying CC licences. The default licence is a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-No Derivative Works 2.0 UK: England & Wales. Students have the option to select an alternative licence.
We have explained to them how students can control access to their work and pointed them to the Creative Commons website to find out more information. Further guidance will be given during the training of post-graduates and if they need further assistance they are advised to contact the repository team.
