Research Degrees

Research Degrees Training Programme

The Postgraduate Training Programme is designed to help all students registered in the College of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing for the research degree of PhD,MD, MPhil, MMSc, MSSc or MSc (by Research).

All students registered for a postgraduate research degree in the College are required to participate in the training programme. Where exceptional situations exist, these should be discussed with the supervisory team and the relevant Postgraduate Student Adviser.

Please note that the School of Nursing and Midwifery has its own Postgraduate Section on the School of Nursing and Midwifery web site, and some of their procedures for supervised postgraduate research are slightly different to those indicated in this College web site.
