Supervision

Students should have a minimum of three supervisory meetings. Two of these should take place in the Summer Term. At the second meeting, students and their supervisors should arrange a third meeting to take place over the summer vacation. Supervisors will read early drafts of the dissertation, but will not comment on the final draft.

Normally a student resubmitting a dissertation that was initially failed is entitled to one session of feedback in which the supervisor will go through the examiners' comments.
