Have your say
Annual review
As part of the Annual Review process, you are given the opportunity to feedback on your experience as a research student and your supervisory arrangements.
If you experience any specific difficulties at any point during your studies, you are also encouraged to discuss these with your personal tutor, or a member of the postgraduate support team.
Become a student rep and work with the PG Forum
The department has a variety of committees including a Postgraduate Committee and a Research and Innovation Committee. Students from the Research programme are elected to represent your views at both of these meetings. MA representatives will also attend Postgraduate Committee.
There is also the opportunity to get represent research students at Faculty level through the Faculty of Arts and Humanities Postgraduate Forum.
Elections take place in the PG Forum at the beginning of the academic year - you'll be sent information about how to get involved via email.
