Heads of Graduate Schools and Postgraduate Research Studies

Graduate Schools are supported by Heads of Graduate School and Directors of Postgraduate Research Studies

Heads of Graduate School 

Each Graduate School is led by an academic Head of Graduate School. The Head of Graduate School is responsible for shaping the strategic development of postgraduate research in the faculty.  

The current Heads of Graduate School are: 

• Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures: Dr Pammi Sinha 
• Faculty of Biological Sciences: Dr Eric Hewitt 
• Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences: Dr Miller Alonso Camargo-Valero

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.
