Below are outlines of a typical PGR journey for various supervised study lengths. Please note that these are guidelines only. Supervised study is the amount of time you or your funder pay tuition fees. For a standard PhD this is 36 months and for a Master’s by Research, 12 months.
This may look a little different for you (eg if you’ve had to take a break from your research or needed longer than your supervised study, if you have visa requirements or if your funder/sponsor requires additional reports from you) and you’ll have lots to add in (training, conferences, events etc) but we hope it’ll provide you with a useful guide.
