  • During the first year you will work on a report and a confirmatory review. The review will be a written report on your thesis and progress so far, including comments from your principal supervisor.
  • You will be required to attend a minimum number of formal and documented supervision sessions and submit a research portfolio detailing your formal and informal training records.
  • The confirmatory review must be passed to progress to the remainder of the PhD programme. If you do not pass the confirmatory review, you may be awarded an MRes degree instead.
