Postgraduate Codes of Practice

The Postgraduate Codes of Practice provide guidance and practical advice for students, supervisors and programme coordinators, as well as Heads of School, Heads of Graduate School and College Postgraduate Officers.

Within the Codes, students and staff will find advice on degree regulations and procedures for changing the terms of student’s studies, for instance, extensions, changes from part time to full time study, and on the University’s policy on good supervisory practice for research students.

The Codes are essential for students and academic staff involved in postgraduate study, and it is expected that both will be familiar with them. They should be read in conjunction with the University Calendar.

General information for both taught and research study:

• The University organisation and structure
• The application process
• Registration
• Graduation
• If things go wrong – appeals and complaints
