There are currently about 150 students, the majority of them full-time, registered for research degrees in the Faculty of Arts. This represents some 15% of the University’s research student population. Of the Faculty’s academic staff over 80% are registered as research-active. Teaching and supervision in the Faculty is deeply informed by staff research activity, with leading researchers involved in delivering courses linked to their specialisms and in supervising PhD-level student research work.
The Research Graduate School has an administrative responsibility for all aspects of research student education and training from initial application to final examination. Details of the School’s role, structure, terms of reference, and the processes it oversees are provided the Faculty’s handbook for postgraduate research.
