Support

The School is committed to providing support for all postgraduate students.

In most instances, supervisors will be the first line of call.

In cases where students wish to talk to an independent advisor, several options are open:

  • In the first instance, the Chair of the Thesis Committee may be able to help.
  • Students are also welcome to talk to the Postgraduate Research Director, Dr Jo Stevens or any of the School Postgraduate Divisional Convenors (see below).

EUSA Postgraduate

Students can also receive support through EUSA, which has a dedicated postgraduate section.
