Course programme
Research students are assigned a Director of Studies and a second supervisor. Students are expected to work independently on their research projects under the advice and direction of the supervision team.
Due to the nature of postgraduate research programmes, the majority of time is spent in independent study and research. Students will have meetings with their academic supervisor, but the frequency of these will vary depending on individual requirements, subject area, staff availability, and stage of programme. There is a requirement for full-time students to have a monthly progress meeting with their supervisor. Part-time students meet with their supervisor bi-monthly.
