Research Studies Guide

The Doctoral College has developed this guide to help postgraduate researchers and their supervisors navigate the various administrative stages of a research degree and to clarify who is responsible for doing what at each stage.

You should be aware that this guide and the related links contain the terms and conditions of your registration.

A general University-wide student guide has also been prepared and this should be referred to for general information and University wide policies.

Subject level handbooks and contact details for Research Directors, Postgraduate Tutors and Admin Support should also be referred to for specific local level guidance on processes and procedures.
