On Campus (Full Time) Position Details (Master's)
PGR students are allocated a supervisor whose role is to guide the student through the different stages of the research degree. In some cases, students may have joint supervision by two members of staff.
Initially, supervisors help with the development of the research topic and plan. Students have regular one-to-one meetings to discuss progress on research.
