Overview
Students are required to follow a structured pattern of activity during which their progress can be monitored and encouraged. Students are allocated two supervisors and the emphasis is on providing whatever training is required. Where appropriate, additional supervisors may be provided. Students are asked to contribute to the department's research seminar series, are able to apply for funding to attend conferences, and are encouraged to publish their work wherever appropriate. Students may also have the opportunity to contribute to teaching, subject to the necessary training.
Due to the nature of postgraduate research programmes, the vast majority of time is spent in independent study and research. Students will meet with their academic supervisors at least once a month for full-time students, and every two months for part-time students.
