Programme Structure

The following list lays out the key milestones that you must achieve as a PG researcher. The academic year for researchers is 12 months long and divided into quarters. If you start your programme in September, the first three quarters will align with University teaching terms and the fourth with the summer vacation period. The list assumes this pattern for ease of representation.
