Support
A wide range of facilities, services and support are available to you throughout your research journey.
Your first point of contact for support is your supervisory team and your academic advisor.
The Doctoral Academy is also here to support the Postgraduate Research community by providing an efficient and tailored service to students, staff and other key stakeholders.
It is important, where possible, that you keep your supervisor and/or advisor informed of any personal circumstances that affect your ability to study, whether it is ill health, financial or other personal problems, particularly if these may lead you to request an interruption or extension.
You can also ask to speak to your advisor or the Head of PGR in your department in confidence.
