Supervisor

During your degree programme, you will work with a Principal Supervisor, and co-supervisor if appropriate, who will provide you with quality supervision, mentoring, guidance and advice. They will also endeavour to make you aware of all regulations, policies and codes of practice relevant to you.

Research Studies Panel

In addition to your supervisor(s), your School will appoint a Research Studies Panel (RSP) for you early in your first year. The purpose of the RSP is to support and enhance the supervisor-student relationship, to monitor your progress during the course of your research studies and to provide advice and support both to you and your supervisor(s).
