Staff profile

The aim of the Doctoral College is to act as a hub for our PGR students, and, through working collaboratively with colleagues and our student community across the University, develop a holistic and comprehensive offering that nurtures our PGR community, giving them the opportunities to thrive and succeed and support their experience at Newcastle University.

I work as part of the Doctoral College team within the Student Progress Service providing administrative support to the Doctoral College Strategy Manager (Lesley Jackson) and the Senior Student Policy Manager (Nicky Houghton) during the implementation of the Doctoral College strategy. I support the administrative processes for activities carried out by the Doctoral College including: -

• Doctoral College Enhancement Funding for students to attend conferences and to undertake additional travel that benefits their development
• Doctoral College Enhancement funding for bursaries for students to attend internships or undertake career development post submission
• Covid 19 Impact funding
• Approval in principle process for Postgraduate Occasional Research Students
• Work with the PGR Deans on PGR Strategic Development Projects
