You will also need to be familiar with the following:
- The Regulations
As a student you have agreed to abide 'by all the statutes, ordinances, regulations and rules of the University for the time being in force'. This means that you are bound by the Regulations as they affect both your general conduct while you are a student of the University and the particular requirements of your programme of study. Please take the time to read the sections relevant to you. Regulation 16 describes in detail the academic requirements for all the postgraduate degrees offered by the University, and you need to be familiar with its requirements.
If you have any questions about the regulations, please contact Dr Lisa Isted.
- The Quality Assurance Code of Practice
This is the University's manual of procedures, guidelines and practices for academic related processes, and it covers many issues relating to postgraduate student business. In particular, it is very important that research students are familiar with QA7.
- Your department or programme handbook
You should familiarise yourself with the handbook provided by your Department, School or Programme.
- The University website
Almost all documents produced in hard copy by the University are published simultaneously on the web, and you should look at these for the most up-to-date information.
