For Full and Part-time StudentsThis page provides information on certain topics such as Faculty events (such as the annual postgraduate poster day), training and travel bursaries, administered by the Director of Postgraduate Studies, Professor Clive Edwards.Contacts Your initial contact for all issues concerning the management
of your research career at Liverpool is/are your supervisor(s). For
advice of matters of a Departmental or faculty nature, your contact
point is your Departmental Postgraduate manager, see below:- The University is investing significant time and resources
in its Postgraduate Training Programme and details are provided on courses
at both Departmental and Faculty Level, via the Research
Training Manual website. Each Department has similar compulsory
annual training requirements that must be fulfilled in order to progress
to your next year of study. Any applications for exemption from specific
aspects of the training programme (usually on the basis of documented
equivalent prior training) are to be made well ahead of the course(s),
directly to the Faculty Director by letter, countersigned by your supervisor(s),
with supporting evidence. The Faculty Director of Postgraduate Studies awards
a number of conference travel bursaries each year, following two closing
rounds (these are April 01 and October 01). Application is via the form
below, which is routed via your supervisor to your Departmental PG Manager
(NOT directly to Professor Edwards). Successful applicants are notified
within 3 weeks of the closing date. Science faculty has strict rules concerning thesis submission.
The ‘Intention to Submit’ form (see below) has to be completed
by student, supervisor and HOD and submitted to the Faculty Office generally
two months before thesis submission. Please note that completion of
the PhD thesis is intended to be a 3-year endeavour and that the University
permits a 4th year of writing up time as an ‘insurance year’.
Consequently, extensions to the 4-year deadline for submission of PhD
theses are never granted, except in very exceptional circumstances,
for which documentary evidence must exist in the student’s annual
progress statements or as official medical papers. 1. Travel
Bursary Form In March the Graduate School runs an integrated ‘research days’ workshop where second year ft (or pt equivalent) PhD students from all faculties and affiliated institutions (Chester College and Liverpool Hope College) present posters over a single 2-day period. An abstracts volume is produced, for distribution at the meeting. |
