Postgraduate Researchers
PGR SupportAcademic Schools Postgraduate research at Bournemouth University is largely organised within the six Academic Schools and associated Research Centres. Responsibility for PGRs within each School rests with the Deputy Dean (Research & Enterprise) although Schools may also have an Associate Dean with delegated responsibility for PGRs. It will be these members of staff, in conjunction with the relevant Academic School Committee, usually the Research & Enterprise Committee (or equivalent), who have overall responsibility for PGR progression. The Research Administrator is an invaluable source of advice and support and will be a prime point of contact throughout the research degree process from application to submission of the thesis and the viva voce. The Research Administrator will also monitor the PGR progress and advise the PGR and supervisory team on the timing of key milestones. Most PGR support will be at School level and the primary source of academic support will be the supervisory team. The Graduate School The Graduate School has the central role of overseeing research degrees at Bournemouth University, providing an academic and interdisciplinary focus for PGRs and enhancing the provision and experience of research degree supervisors. It promotes good practice across the University ensuring both quality and consistency in approach and experience. It offers support in a number of vital areas as outlined below. |
