General Information for Postgraduate Reseach Students
The School's staff pages can give you more information on the specific research interests of academic staff and potential supervisors welcome the opportunity to discuss research proposals with prospective students at any mutually convenient time.
Supervisory Arrangements
Your research will normally be supervised by two members of staff at the University. Your supervisors will most likely be members of the School, but if your research requires it, the School or discipline may arrange for supervision by someone outside the School. Supervisory arrangements at Manchester are governed by a Code of Practice which is available on the University website. Regular meetings will be held with the supervisors, and details of each of the meetings will be recorded. Research Panels (consisting of at least three academic staff, including the supervisors) are held once each semester, (for full-time students) or once per year (for part-time students) to monitor progress.
