Student Profiles:

As a full time postgraduate research student you receive:

  • 24 hour access to a dedicated workspace with networked computer;
  • Regular contact with supervisors with expertise in your chosen area;
  • Support for conference attendance;
  • Access to printing and photocopying facilities;
  • Access to the University's award winning library.
Postgraduate culture

Our PhD students benefit greatly from an inter-disciplinary and dynamic research culture at Faculty and School levels as well as within GURU. Our students' benefit from:

  • APL Research Seminar Series where students, staff and external speakers present their work;
  • Mini-conferences where postgraduate students are given the opportunity to present their research to academics and peers;
  • A Faculty Research Training programme to support and guide the initial stages of your research;
  • A dedicated space for less formal interaction (the Green Room).

Study can be undertaken on either a full time or part time basis for the Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).

Student support

All students are assigned two supervisors who will have expertise in your chosen area of research. You will have regular contact with your supervisors via mutually agreed timed meetings. In addition the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape has an Overseas Students Liaison Tutor who acts as a point of contact for all international students within the school.
