Extensions of Time
Should you find that you need to extend your studies beyond your current submission deadline, you should apply for an Extension of Time via the Change Requests section of PhD Manager. Please note that once you have completed your normal period of registration, all researchers are attributed a status of 'writing up' and are neither full nor part time.
The first extension after your main period of registration is for a fixed period of 6 months and is fee free, and any subsequent extensions are for fixed periods of 6 months and will incur a fee. You can submit at any time within that fixed period.
Your first extension is free of change and subsequent extensions incur a fee, details are below.
| Extension | Duration | Fee* |
|---|---|---|
| First extension | 6 months | Free |
| Subsequent extensions | 6 months | £725 |
*Fees are correct at time of posting, please refer to the miscellaneous fees section for the most up-to-date information.
For subsequent extension requests, researchers are required to hold a Review of Progress Against Deadline which should be recorded on PhD Manager. This is to ascertain whether further extensions are in the best interest of each researcher and to establish a timeline for submission.
