The University offers postgraduate degrees by research of various durations. Students undertake a research project under the guidance of an academic supervisor and, unlike a postgraduate degree by coursework and dissertation, there are no formal lectures or seminars and work is not formally examined until after the final thesis is submitted. Graduate schools offer induction programmes and skills training opportunities for all research students to support their studies and to help with career planning: contact your destination graduate school for further advice on what is available.
The University has developed a code of practice for postgraduate research degrees which sets out the minimum standards that research students can expect of the University and makes clear the responsibilities of all parties involved in a research student’s experience. The code can be consulted on the Postgraduate Research Service website.
