Roles and Responsibilities

It is important that a realistic balance between educational training and productive research be negotiated between postgraduate research students and their supervisors.

You must be aware of your responsibilities as well as those of your supervisors when starting your candidature. Please take a moment to read them on the Graduate Research School website in the Policy and Procedures section.

Attendance at the School Research Seminars and Department Seminars is compulsory for all SoMS research students who are physically based in the Kensington campus (Wallace Wurth and Arthur Street). A record of attendance will be kept by the Postgraduate Administrator and reported at the annual postgraduate reviews.

If you are a new research student, you should also go to the Graduate Research School website and download the essential publications in this section.
