Continuation Period

Your continuation period begins at the end of your normal period of enrolment. During this time you will retain access to the Library and IT facilities. You may only access departmental facilities with the written permission of the Chair of the departmental Graduate School Board. Postgraduate researchers entering a continuation period will be liable to pay a continuation fee.

A continuation period (also known as "writing up period") is allowed for all research students in this department. However, all students should plan to submit their theses by the end of their normal enrolment period. The continuation period is offered to allow for contingencies. You are not required to use this period.

For MA by Research students, the continuation period is three months; for PhD, iPhD and MPhil students it is one year.
