Other
In the third term (the fifth term for part-time students) students will submit a report of 10,000 words and have an oral assessment based on the report to confirm that satisfactory progress has been made – full registration for the PhD is subject to successfully completing this assessment.
Students are required to complete at least once per year a training and progress log recording details of any training sessions they have undertaken and noting their progress to date. The Department offers some in-house research training and advice sessions for PhD students and also encourages students to make full use of the training opportunities available via the University's Social Sciences Research Methods Centre.
