Handbook for Research Students & Supervisors

Handbook for Research Students & Supervisors

The aim of this Handbook (2011/12)  is to lead you - whether you are research student or research supervisor - through the research degree process: from registartion to examination and all stages in between and indeed after.  There will be particular focus on the key stages of this process: Approval (RDB1); Transfer (RDB2); and Examination (RDB3).  There will also be information on how progress and development is monitored and recorded, on the entitlements and responsibilities of both student and supervisor and on other key issues relating to undertaking and supervising an MPhil or PhD at the University of Worcester.

At the back of the handbook you will find a list of useful contacts and a list of weblinks to documents and forms referred to throughout this Guide.

This Handbook should be read alongside:

The Research Degree Regulatory Framework

The University’s Student Handbook which contains general information on student support, financial matters, etc.
