It is recommended that you study all documents made available to you
by your Graduate School and central University office, in particular
your attention is drawn to the Academic Quality Handbook which sets out what you are entitled to expect as a research student in the University. Section 8 of the Academic Quality Handbook is particularly relevant for research students and so should be consulted.
This is a weighty document and so we would suggest you read Section 5 (Student Guidance and Learner Support).
Key documents we would highly recommended you read:
- Code of Practice For Postgraduate Research Students
- General Regulations for Postgraduate Research Degrees
- Postgraduate Supplementary Regulations
You should also be aware of the general principles set out in the Student Charter.
