Doctoral College staff

The dean of the Doctoral College and the directors of postgraduate studies champion academic excellence and raise the profile of individual research projects. They ensure robust and appropriate professional career development and training for all postgraduate research students and represent the research student perspective in the wider research community and within the university, ensuring the research student voice is heard.

Specialist research administrators at each doctoral centre ensure a high level of quality assurance and administrative support for research students and their supervisors. They also provide pastoral care and a wealth of information about the practical student support that the university and the research community provides. They provide well-informed advice and friendly assistance to negotiating the sometimes complex administrative journey of a postgraduate research student, from application to graduation.

Well-trained and highly committed supervisors provide continued support and development throughout your research study, working to create an inspirational supervisor and student team.
