Faculty Advisors should meet with students at least once per term. Research students play an important part in the research environment of the Faculty and students are encouraged to contribute to and participate in research seminars and other activities. Participation in Research Training Research students, in their first year, are required to attend the formal training programme unless specifically exempted from doing so. Preparing for Supervisions Students are expected to actively seek guidance from their supervisors concerning the development of their work. Students should check work before handing it in.
Supervisors are there only to guide and advise students on research and presentation.
Students must rewrite and edit their own work. Students should take responsibility for planning what they wish to discuss in supervisions and should strive to make clear what they hope to achieve. The Progress Paper Students must submit a Progress paper to the GAPC for formal assessment no later than May 1st. Failure to do so may result in the GAPC informing the Board of Graduate Studies that they are unable to recommend registration for a PhD. Only in exceptional circumstances will the GAPC allow a later submission date. This would require an application from the student, with a supporting statement from the supervisor.
