Information for prospective postgraduate students
Welcome
Welcome to postgraduate research in the Faculty of Education, Health and Professional Studies. To make your journey easier, we have prepared a Research Guide for you. Many people have contributed to it, and we thank them all.
The Faculty is committed to providing first class supervision to all of its Higher Degree Research Students. Most of you will be part-time, off-campus candidates and this creates problems of isolation, conflicting demands of family, work and research. Take heart, your supervisors are well aware of these issues - indeed, many have gained their own post-graduate qualifications in the same way.
Since the Guide was first produced in 1992, graduate students in the Faculty have found its advice and direction invaluable in preparing their research. The Faculty Research & Research Training Committee hopes that the current edition will prove just as useful.
The research guide is a PDF document and can be downloaded by clicking here. Please note that the document is large (>400k) and therefore may take a while to download on slow connections.
Best wishes
