Directors of Postgraduate Research Studies
Each school within a faculty also has a Director of Postgraduate Research Studies (DPGRS). Your DPGRS is an important point of contact for any academic or pastoral concerns during your candidature.
Your DPGRS can be identified by checking your GRAD record.
You can meet with your DPGRS at any time during the year to discuss any academic or personal issues. You should be offered a meeting with them (without your supervisor) at least once a year by your Graduate School.
A full list of DPGRSs is available on the staff intranet.
