All our students have access to a broad range of personal and professional training opportunities at both the University and BAS.

Other
All PhD students are probationary in the first year and progression to the second year (and registration for the PhD) depends on a successful first-year review. The form of the review is specified by the Degree Committee of the University department in which you are registered.
