About the team 

Working in the Postgraduate Research team is a unique and varied experience. From registration to progression, into examination and finally to graduation, we accompany students throughout their studies. Often, at times, we are students and supervisors’ first point of contact for queries, so signposting students to regulations and the wide range of support offered by the University is a daily duty. Avenues of enquiry are flexible and include good old face-to-face, email and telephones, as well as web-based support interfaces. While much of our work is delivered as a team, we have our share of individual tasks and queries to resolve. They can sometimes be tricky and take a while to resolve while one works through files or consults other teams. You are never truly alone though with a council of willing oracles just a few mouse-clicks and keystrokes away in our Teams community. 

Although PGR students follow a common path, they do not have a regimented timeline like in a bachelor’s degree for instance. As such, we closely track student progress using central University systems and local records. To monitor attendance and progress, PGR teams collect regular supervision records and work with schools and departments to support yearly Progress Reviews. If all goes to plan, we will then guide students and academics through a multi-stage examination process. Of course, circumstances can change and oft affect a student’s trajectory. Be it taking a break or applying for changes to submission dates, we support the students by working with their school and other teams at the University in administering changes to their registration.
